Making Friends With Your I.T. Colleagues

Wednesday, September 17
10:45 - 11:45 AM

Have you ever been frustrated after talking with members of your I.T. team? Have you ever submitted a data request to your I.T. colleagues and gotten back information that in no way was responsive to what you asked for? Do you have less than optimal relations with the I.T. folks and find yourself going to conferences and venting your frustrations about it? If you’d like to join a conversation about this, to go beyond venting and get some ideas for building a better relationship, then this session might be for you.
