About Advanced Practices Council (APC)

 

“I keep coming back to the APC because it’s an investment in my expertise and that of my company. Many of the projects I have successfully initiated at Penske are a direct result of what I learned at the APC.”
-- Steve Pickett, Vice President, IT & CIO,
Penske Corporation


What is the Advanced Practices Council (APC)?

The APC is a forum for senior IT executives who commission exclusive research and share cross-industry perspectives in an intimate, candid atmosphere.

Experience the APC first-hand by coming as a guest to our next meeting, January 27-28, 2010, in Atlanta, Georgia. Contact Nikki Palluzzi at SIM Headquarters for more information.
