DISC 2014 Wrap-Up

Thank you to the Diocese of San Jose for hosting the conference, especially Evan Linick, BeeJae Visitacion, Charles Kanavel and their wonderful staff.

There were learning opportunities whether it be visiting Citrix, Cisco and Google, the general and breakout sessions or the Computer History Museum. We were able to relax on the winery tour and dinner. Of course, there were plentiful opportunities to collaborate, share and learn from one another.

If you would like a refresher of the general sessions or were unable to attend the conference, they can be viewed by clicking here.

The results of the Technology Survey were discussed during a breakout session. The results of the survey can be viewed by clicking here.

The goal of the conference planners was that you were able to take away at least one piece of information that you could use in your job. Hopefully, they were successful.
