Miscellaneous Members Academic One of the most important functions of the ITRC is to serve as a conduit for information exchange between the academic and business communities and between members of the business community. The ITRC provides a variety of forums to facilitate this information exchange. Topical Roundtables are usually devoted to short-term issues, bringing together interested parties for an informal discussion. Topical roundtables are established at the request of ITRC members and by ITRC initiative. Executive Roundtables are open to top IT executives of member firms.
Topics are generally strategic and enduring.
The Executive Roundtable provides the perfect forum for top IT executives to gather for an informal discussion on a specified topic. The Speaker Series is used to introduce topics to ITRC members. Well-known IT authorities are invited to present topics to ITRC members. Whereas the Speaker Series is used to introduce a topic, Workshops are used to provide further information. A symposium is a conference to discuss a topic.
