Kickin’ off BRMConnect 2016 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Club!

“This week marks the largest gathering of cross-industry Business Relationship Management experts and practicing Business Relationship Managers in the world to date, and we are ecstatic to introduce this amazing group to new tools, techniques, and strategies that they can put in practice once they get back to the office!” exclaimed Aaron Barnes, co-founder of the Business Relationship Management Institute (BRM Institute). At this very moment, hundreds of accomplished BRM practitioners, industry experts, and business leaders are gathering in Charlotte, NC to attend the first highly-anticipated BRMConnect conference of 2016.

BRMConnect is the world’s one and only networking and development events series for Business Relationship Managers, hosted by Business Relationship Management Institute (BRM Institute) and generously sponsored by Instrumental BRM, The Merlyn Group, ServiceNow, Leading Edge Forum, APMG International, Van Haren Publishing, Intentional Agility, and Excalibur Data Systems.

During their week in Charlotte, conference attendees are eager awaiting the opportunity to learn tips and techniques from the industry’s most renowned experts, exchange innovative ideas through facilitated round table discussions and panels, and ultimately develop and grow the BRM capability in their respective organizations to new heights, resulting in improved business strategy and maximized value. Conference attendees can also look forward to fun community-building activities, including a complimentary tour of the Charlotte Motor Speedway and a once-in-a-lifetime ride in a pace car!

As you can see in the charts, BRMConnect-Charlotte attendees come from a vast array of diverse backgrounds, representing industries as far apart as Agriculture and Tech, and everything in between. The gender breakdown of attendees includes 60% women and 40% men. Conference attendees can also look forward to opportunities to learn from fellow BRMs at all skill and organizational levels, since C-level executives, vice presidents, directors, managers, and more will be in attendance.
