Welcome To The 5th Annual TDWI Amsterdam Event!

This marks the fifth year that TDWI has sponsored an event in Amsterdam. We are excited to present our -TDWI BI Symposium. This format combines the elements of our traditional conference with in-depth interactive education opportunities. There will be an opening keynote address by Barry Devlin about "BI - Catching the Next Wave of Business Intelligence" that will challenge you to think differently about how to run your business in the future. You will also have the opportunity to get the latest product and technology information directly from the vendor's with a minimum of hype and hassle. 

On the education side you have the opportunity for in-depth discussions and learning on some of the key areas that most directly affect the success or failure of your DW/BI projects. The TDWI BI Symposium will cover four key topics that will directly impact the success of your DW/BI project. These courses will be taught by Dave Wells and John O'Brien, both of whom are considered key thought leaders and industry experts in Data Modelling techniques, Measuring Intangibles, Data Integration Techniques and Business Analytics. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to learn the best practices from the experts and how to implement them practices in your projects. In these challenging times we can afford not to "get it right" the first time. 

I am very excited about the educational and networking opportunities being offered at this year's TDWI BI Symposium in Amsterdam and I look forward to seeing you there. 

Sincerely,
