The UniForum Trinidad and Tobago 1995 Conference and Exhibition was held the last week in June at the Trinidad Hilton Hotel in Port of Spain. More than 50 vendor representatives and 125 paid participants attended the event, attending 24 conference sessions in management, technical, and vendor tracks. Sixteen companies had booths at the exhibition.
Keynote speaker was Caribbean businessman Richard Jackman, chairman of the Airports Authority of Trinidad and Tobago and a director of Trinidad Cement Ltd. Plenary sessions were led by Dr. Terrence Farrell, deputy governor of the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, and Rudy Hirscheim, director of the Information Systems Research Center at the University of Houston. Farrell spoke on the theme of the conference, "Bringing Information to Managers," with excerpts of his address featured on national television. Hirscheim spoke on "Implementing Empowerment Through Teams-the Case of Texaco's IT Division." Hirscheim also held a half-day seminar on information systems outsourcing.
The UniForum Trinidad and Tobago Board of Directors is making plans for the organization's 1996 Conference and Exhibition.
