TAWPI's 35th Annual Forum & Expo 2005

For the second time in five years, TAWPI brings its Annual Forum & Expo to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. While the industry has seen some dramatic changes since the Forum in 2000, the spirit of this annual event has remained consistent for 35 years. This is the largest meeting of TAWPI members. It serves as an ideal venue for sharing ideas, gathering information about a changing market, and networking with fellow members.

Working with TAWPI staff, the Forum & Expo Committee has developed a remarkable program of conference sessions and events. With more than 35 seminars in three separate learning tracks, the content represents the many diverse interests of TAWPI members. Sessions cover most every aspect of data capture, forms processing, mail handing, payment processing, image-exchange and remittance processing.

Learning tracks are segmented by Process Improvement, Practical Applications and Business Models & Management Strategies.

Presenters include numerous end-user professionals in the banking, financial services and payments industries as well as several state and federal government experts. Speakers from the U.S. Postal Service, Doculabs and the Federal Reserve are in particular demand, yet have made time to be in Baltimore for this event.

Most importantly, TAWPI members as well as many not yet members have made time to attend. This offers perhaps the greatest opportunity at the Annual Forum. Some of the most experienced professionals in the areas of information capture, payment processing and content automation will be on hand. Whether in the vendor community staffing the booths on the Expo floor, or practitioners who have somehow taken time from their operational responsibilities to take a seat at a conference session, these are the industry's best and brightest.

The conversations that begin at Baltimore's Inner Harbor, can lead to business relationships, career opportunities, and most notably process improvements. Seize the chance to mingle with your fellow-members. Trade business cards generously. Network shamelessly. For TAWPI Forum & Expo only happens once a year.
