And in structuring the single most important gathering of CI professionals each year, we are not only interested in the process of doing CI -- we want to hear from CIs internal clients and customers as well -- people who have used CI to create and sustain a competitive advantage for their enterprise. This rich tapestry of expertise and experience can be found in only one place each year: the SCIP Annual International Conference."
