8th Annual QAI & QAAM Regional Conference
September 21-23, 2009 ~ Baltimore / Washington Area 

The theme for this year’s conference is “Managing Projects Effectively in a Cost Constrained Economy”.  Key focuses for the conference are program management, testing and project oversight throughout the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).  As we all know cost, schedule and quality are key drivers for any project, but assuring we built the right product that meets the requirements is paramount to a successful project.
