Thank you for attending the BPM Think Tank workshop held on May 23-25th 2006. Through case studies, expert panel sessions, and your participation in the Roundtable discussions, we were all enabled to gain uncommon insight into BPM in the real world, within the standards community, on the IT drawing board and in the executive board room.

We have created this page for you as a follow up to the information provided at the Think Tank. Located here are the presentations of speakers, roundtable abstracts and many pictures of the event’s success. Please enjoy and we look forward to seeing you at future BPM events.
