If you or your company didn't fit the description to present at next year's Young Professional Summit, which is taking proposals till September 11th, you should definitely consider presenting at Infotec 2010. Like the YP Summit, it's a great opportunity for you or your company to show off your strengths, share your story, and network with others.

Jeff, who wears two hats, one with us and one with the AIM Institute, passed along this information for me to share:

April 13-14, 2010, at the Qwest Center Omaha. The Infotec Conference provides education, networking, community building and access to local and national experts for Information Technology (IT) professionals and stakeholders. The conference is directed by the AIM INSTITUTE as a vibrant, creative and forward-looking conference. Over 600 attended Infotec in 2009.
