In response to the praise received for breakout sessions at TEM 2007, the 2008 conference now includes more breakout sessions as well as a new live polling element.

 

According to AOTMP, the new live polling makes use of interactive communication tools during select sessions "to enable conference attendees to tap into the industry knowledge and experiences of other attendees."

 

Tim Colwell, AOTMP Vice President of Knowledge Operations and conference chairperson commented," Our sessions featuring live polling will add an exciting dynamic to the conference. Attendees will have the opportunity to help benchmark some of the industry's crucial processes against AOTMP standards and best practices, and understand how their business operations fit in the industry mean."


Telcom Certification will also take place at the event according to AOTMP who also said they will offer five different Specialty Certification programs on-site at the conference including Technology Selection, Wireless Management, Inventory Development, Telecom Management Strategies, and Contract Negotiations.
