ASQ SOX Virtual Conference is a Success!
ASQ just successfully completed its first virtual conference,
ASQ’s 2nd Annual Sarbanes-Oxley Conference: Integrated Management Systems in Support of SOX Compliance
The three-day virtual conference was managed by Lisa Stanek, ASQ and Sandy Liebesman. The Integrated Management Systems track was managed by Donna Spencer, Integrated Audits track was managed by Paul Palmes, and the IT Software track was managed by John Walz.
The forty plus attendees had the advantage of picking and choosing their preferred combination of 1, 2, or all 3 tracks. The web enabled service allowed the twelve speakers to broadcast and answer attendee’s questions both in real-time and at the end with live discussions. The benefit to the speakers is their presentations can be replayed to other audiences. Of course the real benefit was the attendee’s reduce conference fees and lack of travel expenses.
This new type of educational interaction is important for newly formed networks and forums that lack a dedicated set of experienced volunteers who normally manage face-to-face ASQ conferences.
