Impact of Disruptive Technologies on Management: Leading Your Team to Cope and Thrive
EVENT CANCELLED
It is with some sadness that we inform you that, regretfully and due to low interest, this event is cancelled. We had insufficient signups to justify the time and effort of the speakers for such a small group. Our plan is to hold another Symposium next year with the lessons we learned from setting up this year’s event.
We had thought that since this was the theme of our TEMS National Conference that it would be a popular one for us here in Silicon Valley, where so much disruption is taking place. We invite everyone who is interested in this topic to attend TEMSCON 2018 in Chicago, on June 27th (http://www.temscon.org/).
We want to thank our speakers, our volunteers, and all those who signed up that were planning to take a day OFF work to attend. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. A full refund will be issued shortly for all those who paid for their tickets.
This symposium focuses on industry lessons “from the trenches” and practical actionable advice.You learn the latest trends and technology that prepare you to manage disruptions, and network with peers who can share insights and solutions that will also help you cope with disruptions.
The Silicon Valley Chapter of the IEEE TEMS has a special interest in supporting the needs of industry. The audience for these programs are both new & experienced technology and engineering managers (or project managers), technologists moving to become managers, and persons wanting to learn more about how technical management works.
Symposium Date: Wednesday, June 6, 2018.
Time: 8:30 AM to 4:15 PM
Location: Texas Instruments Conference Center, Santa Clara, CA (map & directions)
Cost: $75 IEEE Members, $100 non-IEEE Members (through June 3rd), $50 students, $120 Standard Rate ($75 IEEE rate also available to current members of the Silicon Valley Engineering Council , TiE, and ACM).
