| Source: IASA
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - June 29, 2009) - IASA is pleased to announce the 2nd Annual
Executive EDGE Conference will be held September 13 - 15 at the Gaylord
Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas following the
association's Fall Planning Meeting.
This event, launched successfully in 2008, will emphasize topics of
importance to insurance company Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief
Financial Officers (CFOs), and Chief Investment Officers (CInvOs). The IASA
Executive EDGE program will focus heavily on technology and financial
topics and is scheduled to feature a keynote presentation by iconic newsman
Ted Koppel entitled "Dangerous Times, Dangerous World," which will address
world events such as 9/11 and the current economic crisis, as well as offer
insights into Koppel's experiences during his more than 40 years with ABC
News, 26 of them as anchor and managing editor of "Nightline."
Sponsored this year by Agile Technologies, Custom House, ISCS, and
Vertafore, the 2009 IASA Executive EDGE Conference will feature a
technology specific general session, "Results-Oriented Technology
Solutions," as well as a CFO-CIO Point-Counterpoint Discussion session that
will delve into why this relationship is sometimes more contentious than
cooperative. Finally, executive attendees will take part in
discipline-specific breakout sessions.
The interactive and flexible format of the breakout sessions will allow
attendees to control the topics discussed during the event. For each area
of responsibility, a distinguished group of panelists and an expert
facilitator will lead the interactive discussions. Conference attendees
will earn nine (9) CPE credits, and will have the opportunity to take part
in a sponsored golf outing at the Cowboys' Golf Club.
IASA has arranged a special EDGE attendee rate with the Gaylord Texan which
expires on August 21, 2009. Registration details for this event and
further information about speakers, sponsorships and the program can be
found online at the association's website at www.iasa.org/EDGE.
