Thank you to all the delegates, speakers and sponsors who attended and supported another successful FIMA EDM conference!

FIMA EDM 2008 focused on driving data quality initiatives, strengthening vendor relationships and identifying tactical strategies to mitigate risk exposure. Delegates learned through:

• The round table sessions led by GoldenSource, FactSet and Kingland Systems: Delegates found this activity very engaging, with opportunities to raise honest questions and challenges within a tight, intimate set-up
• The 4 panel sessions were also well-received, with panelists and delegates sharing honest opinions, insights and real-life experiences in improving data quality and risk management
• The individual presentations set the stage for the group’s desire for new information and useful lessons learned especially during this very shaky market and economy
