Software Industry LeaderIndustry Leaders Share Their Views About SoftSummit


We asked industry leaders about their experiences at the SoftSummit Conference.

"This is my fifth SoftSummit, and every year the theme has changed. It reflects what's going on in the industry and what our needs are. A couple of years ago, we talked about pricing models. Today we're talking about the challenge of compliance. SoftSummit continues to evolve to address what's going on in the industry. I recommend SoftSummit all the time — it's the best conference of its kind."
