The AIM IT Futures Committee meets quarterly to help us identify IT trends and issues that we may wish to address through future members forums, programs, conferences, or research. AIM Members Forums focus on technology topics and are intended to help members learn from experts and each other. Participation on the IT Futures Committee and attendance at our complimentary Members Forums are open to all AIM members.
