IAITAM Member User Group     The IAITAM Member Users Groups provide an avenue to meet monthly with peers to discuss issues, solutions, products, and provide each other support. Guest presenters may be invited to select meetings to provide educational based presentations. Live meetings will take place annually at the IAITAM Annual Conference. IAITAM is looking for interested parties willing to lead their local ITAM community to expand their asset management awareness and assist in bringing educational-based  content to the masses through this new program.  Inquire Today   February Schedule: Attention all IMUG Members: February's regularly scheduled IMUG sessions have been cancelled to allow for your special previewing of IAITAM's soon to be released ITAM 360.  Log in to register for one of the following preview sessions today: February 23, 2010 at 2:00pm EST February 25, 2010 at 2:00pm EST All who wish to attend one of this month's sessions must register via this link.  If you registered previously for one or multiple IMUG sessions, that registration will not carry over to these special sessions but will be intact for regular meetings commencing in March. We will not follow the normal format for these User Group Sessions; instead we will start out with our speaker Larry Shoup, an IAITAM Fellow and IMUG chair from SilverTree Solutions to demonstrate the new ITAM 360 performance model and knowledgebase. Following the presentation both IAITAM and Larry will be available for questions.  Due to the projected size of the 2 Member sessions and there will be a limited number of open lines available on GoToWebinar, some may need to send their questions in via the toolbar’s question box.  If during the Q&A session, you have a question, please raise your hand and we will try to open your line. We look forward to demonstrating the capabilities of ITAM 360 to you! IAITAM Members may register for one or all of the below Member User Groups.
