Finding the right tech partner is a lot like dating—you need chemistry, compatibility, and a solid contract. This fun, fast-paced session walks you through the art of vendor matchmaking: from crafting the perfect “profile” to spotting red flags and sealing the deal. Hear real-world success (and horror) stories, learn how to vet vendors like a pro, and get smart strategies for managing contracts and evolving relationships as your firm grows.

Your firm's data is a goldmine. In this fast-paced session, you'll learn practical ways to unlock value from your data, keep it protected, and prepare for what's next, with minimal disruptions to operations.
 
You'll learn how to:

• Unlock value from your firm's data - turn scattered information into trusted insight for better decisions
• Protect data and client trust - why standards like CMMC matter beyond DoD contracts, and how to align as requirements expand
• Harness tech for growth - apply the right moves with expert guidance that accelerates outcomes
