Notable Speakers at CAMP Conferences from the 1980’s to the Present

Since 1984, CAMP has helped IT professionals advance their careers through thought leadership.

 

In the 1980s and 1990s, when the industry went through tremendous growth, the titans of the industry regularly spoke at CAMP. Now, we focus on having professionals from IT departments share their experiences at CAMP conferences through formal presentations and panel discussions. This has produced a tremendously effective learning environment for our audience of IT professionals (100% of whom are from IT departments).

 

Below you will find a sample listing of industry leaders and leading CIOs, IT executives, management and staff who participated and continue to participate as effective speakers at CAMP.
