Your Investment is Returned (ROI Analysis)

Joining INTERACTION pays immediate dividends.

As a member you will:

• Be entitled to attend our Annual Conference and EXPO
• Be able to access the Proceedings from our last Conference
• Receive invitations to our bi-monthly regional meetings
• Receive invitations to any of our Special Events (eg. Executive Forums)

By attending our conferences (which have been cited as one of the most cost-effective ways to gain the tools and knowledge needed to meet the demands of changing information technology) you'll pay a minimal amount for an intensive education unlike any offered within the industry, and you'll garner a tangible, immediate return on your investment.

Take a look at how a recent conference attendee calculated their "Return on Investment" by attending an INTERACTION conference when faced with two distinct challenges in their organisation - RPG IV implementation and providing browser access to company data.

In addition to the direct savings, during conference sessions INTERACTION attendees make professional contacts who they consult with long after the conference is over. In addition, at the EXPO, they locate software vendors who can provide the tools they need. This means attendees return to the office with real-time solutions that can be implemented immediately.

A typical INTERACTION conference attendee participates in more than 16 hours of sessions presented by some of the most knowledgeable professionals in the IT industry - individuals who would charge up to $500 per hour, if you could secure them! At INTERACTION conferences, though, they're a standard part of our educational package.

Don't miss your chance to join us at our next conference and experience the education and information-sharing opportunities that only INTERACTION can offer.
