Pink Elephant Announces 11th Annual International IT Service Management Conference And Exhibition

Thursday, March 09, 2006, TORONTO, ON – Pink Elephant today announced that the 11th Annual International IT Service Management Conference and Exhibition will take place at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas from February 18 to 21, 2007.

Just one month after the 10th anniversary of the world’s largest event dedicated to the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) brought a record-setting crowd to Las Vegas’ Bellagio Hotel, Pink Elephant is preparing to reach new heights for next year’s conference.

“We have more than 200 attendees already confirmed – the most preliminary registrations the event has ever received during the same period in past years,” says George Spalding, Pink Elephant Vice President, Global Events. “There is a greater demand for in-depth case studies and real-world know-how, and Pink Elephant will continue to deliver fresh and innovative program content to meet the ongoing educational needs of attendees, while reflecting current developments in ITIL best practices.”

From introductory ITIL 101 to more advanced presentations on tool selection, culture change, and step-by-step process implementation, the IT Service Management Conference & Exhibition is designed for all IT practitioners at any stage of their ITIL journey. Each annual conference includes almost 100 sessions within multiple themed tracks, delivered by international IT directors, top business school professors, service management gurus and Pink Elephant’s own consultants.

Recognizing individuals and corporations for their outstanding commitment to ITIL is a key feature of the conference and helps to further promote the framework on a global scale. The latest ITIL Awards were given to BP, one of the world’s largest energy companies, receiving ITIL Project of the Year; and Molly Holladay, ITSM Architect with Bandag, Inc. for ITIL Practitioner of the Year. Best ITIL Case Study, an award determined by conference attendees, went to Stephen Wrenn of Liberty Mutual Insurance and Man Yuen Martin Chan from Unihub Ltd. was awarded ITIL Student of the Year.

Case study speaker proposals for the 11th Annual IT Service Management Conference and Exhibition are now being accepted and details are available here. For more information about the 2007 conference, click here or call 1-888-273-PINK.
