This year brought in many first time attendees, as well as a number of Certified TRAKKER users and Power Users from all over the country. Attendees at the sold out event were exposed to some of the most contemporary techniques for Project Portfolio Management, Business Performance Measurement, and the application of Balanced Scorecards and Digital Dashboards. The General Session provided the audience with a well balanced mix of conceptual theory and real world experiences that provide the basis for Enterprise Project Management, Finance, and Earned Value Management methodologies and systems applications.
