We cordially invite you to a day-long exploration of Information Technology-Enabled Transformations. The purpose of the conference is to illustrate how technology is dramatically changing industries, markets and organizations, and to discuss how to bring the transformation theme into management education. We will be playing excerpts from the documentary The Transformation Age: Surviving a Technological Revolution with Robert X. Cringely, co-produced by the Smith School and Maryland Public Television.

The keynote speakers include Fred Ehrlich, former head of Sony Digital, Eric Eggleton, Senior Vice President and Chief Content Officer, Maryland Public Television, and Professor Ann Majchrzak of the University of Southern California.

Additional conference speakers will include Mark Warren, Business Process Manager in sales and marketing at Foundation Coal Corporation, and Sudhendu Rai, Principal Scientist for the Xerox Research Center.

You'll discover:

• How information technology is transforming everything around us, from our professional to our personal lives.
• How we can weave IT-enabled transformation into our business school curriculum
• How we need to include this new theme to prepare students for careers in the 21st Century
• Why we believe that a transformation theme can motivate both students and faculty in their study of information technology

As a part of registration, participants will receive a DVD of The Transformation Age.
