Five of the original 14 ITSMF founders will be in the room on September 19.

Curvie Burton. Sheila Talton. Willie Fields. Dr. Stephanie Parson. Gregory Morrison. Thirty years ago, they made a decision to build something that corporate America wouldn't provide. They saw the need. They capitalized their own resources. They built ITSMF from conviction, not institutional support. In 1996, African American professionals held only 3% of information technology management roles across corporate America. The founders looked at that statistic and decided to change it. This September, they gather with the leaders who've carried their vision forward. And who will determine what the next 30 years look like. If you've built your career in ITSMF, this is your moment to honor that lineage. To be in the room where the next chapter gets written. Saturday, September 19. Atlanta Marriott Marquis.
