Overview
The TechAmerica Foundation will be hosting a one day conference November 10, 2011 in the San Diego area based on the findings of our two day Vision Conference, which is held annually in the Washington, DC area. Many companies use the information to develop their annual operating and long range strategic plans. Several Wall Street analysts also use the Vision Conference information in their market forecasting efforts and consider this a “Gold” standard for accurate and insightful information.
We believe that a conference on the West Coast will provide a valuable source of information for companies involved in the defense and IT marketplace, or for companies contemplating entering this federal market space. Highlights of the day will be a presentation of the DoD Macro/Topline Ten-Year forecast and a Five-Year forecast of the Federal IT Budget.
