Data quality issues include qualifying data, ethics, presenting your data in court, and audit deficiencies. In addition,we will have two presentations on communication issues by EA Sears. Ms. Sears was our Keynote Speaker from the 2011 convention. We are bringing her back again due to her overwhelming popularity.

There are three concurrent sessions scheduled each day of the conference. For Monday: Session I, we will have “How to Use Qualified Data.” For Session II we will present “Ethics,” “You Have Been Subpoenaed!You and Your Data’s Day in Court,” and “A Communication Presentation”.
