Are you prepared to manage your next development team???

Speaker: Chris Burns, CEO, internU

It is no secret that the Millennials will play a very important role in the aging workplace. With technology rapidly changing and an increasing shift toward a reliance on mobile devices, companies are trying to get their hands around the secret of finding and retaining recent grads. We will learn about and discuss the challenges in recruiting them and the secrets of retaining them.

Chris Burns is the CEO and founder of internU (founded in 2006). At internU, Chris is dedicated to finding "Millennials” an internship or career with organizations that align with the candidates’ personality and career goals. In 1991, Chris also founded IDC Partners. Chris has over 20 years of experience in professional services consulting.

Our Mission:
SIM ELIT exists to facilitate the exchange of information and business opportunities among senior Information Technology executives. This will provide alignment between the Business and Information Technology practices. Our goal is to focus on problem solving, discussion of issues pertaining to IT careers, reviewing business objectives and how to develop stronger relationships with the business community, and true networking in a safe haven environment where consulting organizations are not present.
