The Information Quality Conference 2005, Sept.19-23, in Houston

Published: July 6, 2005

The IQ Conference is the most comprehensive and authoritative conference on data and information quality.

The 17^th Information Quality Conference for Practitioners and Business is scheduled for Sept. 19-23, 2005, at the Hyatt Regency Downtown, Houston, Texas. It is organized by Information Impact International in partnership with the International Association for Information and Data Quality (IAIDQ).

Increasingly, poor quality information is crippling organizations’ ability to operate intelligently or effectively and is stealing from the bottom line. Consider how much time and resources are wasted in performing your work and decisions.

Whether your burning information quality issues are in data warehousing, ERP implementations, customer relationship management environments or general information issues, this conference is for you.
