** Strict "No Commercialism" Rules
Our speakers adhere to our policies and refrain from promoting their companies because they know they'll never be invited to speak at a TMC event again.
** Panel Formats in Sessions
The majority of sessions are presented by a panel of speakers and a moderator. This ensures you get several perspectives on each topic. And the moderators keep the discussion focused on what's important to you.
** Most Qualified Speakers Selected
Each presenter is chosen based on their expertise on the topic--regardless of whether or not they otherwise participate in the event. You will not deal with unqualified speakers offered speaking slots as an incentive to exhibit at the event.
