It's happening! We're hosting a virtual conference this year!

The IT Partners virtual conference will feature presentations on a variety of IT topics. The sessions will take place on Zoom. We are pleased to announce that our keynote speaker will be Mark Silis, the Vice President for IS&T (Information Systems & Technology) at MIT.

The conference will run from 10am to 2:45pm, including an hour for lunch and networking (Zoom breakout rooms).

  • The first 200 people to register by 11:30am on 6/9 will have the opportunity to receive a GrubHub voucher for lunch.
  • If you'd like to help moderate breakout rooms or have topic suggestions for them, please indicate that in your registration.

Further details will be posted to the 2021 IT Partners Conference wiki page.

If you have any questions for conference speakers, or have specific suggestions for topics you would like to see at future IT Partners events, please email the IT Partners Planning Team at itpartners-plan@mit.edu.

We hope to see you virtually on June 15th!
