What are IMF Connects?
Connects are member requested small group discussions on any IT topic. They allow you to leverage the knowledge and experience of your peers.
 IMF Connects offer quality information that is focused to your topic. They are peer to peer discussions eliminating vendor or consultant bias.
Ongoing Re-Connects: There are some topics and issues where IMF members prefer updates on a regular basis. These are Connects set up to meet quarterly or monthly, depending on the group’s preference, for discussion and insight.
If you would like to schedule an information sharing session, call 770.455.0070 or click the link below.
Submit an IMF Connect!
What happens once I submit a Connect request?
After you submit a Connect request, IMF will find members who are interested in discussing their insights on your particular issue. The IMF then schedules and facilitates a web conference or meeting. Upon completion of the connect session, IMF will summarize the results in a Connect report for future reference. (*Note: Company names are removed from these reports to maintain privacy.)
