Humphrey Strategic Communications

Humphrey Strategic Communications is the proud founder and sponsor of the Pacific Northwest BI Summit, an annual weekend retreat which assembles the top industry thought leaders in the data warehousing, business intelligence, data integration and CRM industries in an informal setting to discuss the latest trends in BI.

The BI Summit is headlined by four of the world’s leading experts — Dr. Claudia Imhoff, president of Intelligent Solutions, Colin White, president of BI Research, William McKnight, senior vice president, data warehousing, Conversion Services International, and Jill Dyche, partner with Baseline Consulting.

Moderating the weekend’s discussions are Editors of the Business Intelligence Network. A small, diverse group of vendors fill out the attendee list, taking taking advantage of the rare opportunity to mingle with these true industry experts in an intimate, relaxed setting. Hosting the event is Scott Humphrey, president of Humphrey Strategic Communications.

meeting The Pacific Northwest BI Summit is held at the historic Weasku Inn www.weasku.com located in Grants Pass, Oregon.

The agenda for the panel discussions are prepared with the assistance of the BI Summit’s distinguished panel members. We cover the hot issues of today, as well as take good look into the crystal ball to see where trends might be headed in the future. The intimate nature of the BI Summit means that vendors are able to air their own key issues and ask the experts to help resolve their most pressing challenges, often in a one-on-one setting.
