ITAM Review European Tools Day Roundup
On the 18th November 2014 the ITAM Review hosted our first event. The ITAM Tools Day was hosted at the BCS Office in London, by the picturesque Covent Garden. To watch our YouTube video of the day please see below:
Standing room only! Thank you to everyone that attended!
The event
The event was a sell-out, which is an amazing feat for our first ever event. We had delegates from all around Europe, including Germany, France, The Netherlands and Ireland. A miserable and wet Tuesday morning turned into a glorious sunny day as our keynote speakers delivered their presentations to a packed room.

Feedback
Finally, our event would not have been possible without the support of the of the SAM community. The turn out was amazing and everyone provided valuable feedback and really got involved. The feedback provided is extremely valuable to use in improving our events for the future, as our aim is to provide the community with informative, worthwhile events that help attendee’s progress with ITAM.
Also massive thanks to our sponsors and vendors for their support and attendance, and also giving us the ability to host the event free of charge to attendees.
