Portland, OR, October 1, 2016 — Workamajig® has invited Vanessa Edwards to be a keynote speaker for the third time in a row at their biennial Workology End-User Conference, to be held in Scottsdale, AZ from October 19th through 22nd. Workamajig® is the most powerful and innovative project management software for marketing and ad agencies, design firms, in-house creative departments and everyone else in the creative industry.
“I’m very excited to be speaking again at Workology,” states Vanessa Edwards, President of CPI. “My goal at this conference is to explain how an empowered Integrated Project Management (IPM) Discipline, leveraging an integrated tool like Workamajig, can produce rich and insightful operational and financial data. This data can be leveraged to improve decision making, reduce risk, fuel growth, increase profit and change an organization’s culture, one step at a time.”
