JOIN US FOR THE 2020 MERIT MEMBER CONFERENCE
After thorough discussion regarding the potential spread of COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 Merit Member Conference, scheduled for May 12th & 13th. The MMC 2020 will now be held October 29th and 30th at The Henry Hotel, Dearborn, MI.
Current registrants, you will be notified by email regarding your registration and the next steps in this process. You may also contact [email protected] and we will reply promptly.
What is the value of information without intelligent action? With nearly unlimited access to data and analytics, a strong statewide ecosystem of like-minded organizations, an abundance of free and low-cost base security tools and a growing awareness of connectivity challenges – what comes next?
MMC 2020 will explore conceptual and practical approaches to move our organizations from the current equilibrium, into the next generation and beyond.
DATES: OCTOBER 29 & 30th, 2020
LOCATION: THE HENRY HOTEL | DEARBORN, MI.
