GAM 2019 Live Stream
There is still time to experience GAM 2019 without the travel. For the first time ever, attendees can experience live streaming of five general sessions and seven of the most popular concurrent earning up to 17.5 CPEs at GAM 2019, being held March 11–13 in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas. When GAM 2018 sold out, it proved that more people want to attend the conference than some venues can accommodate. Additionally, many people would like to attend IIA events, but cost for travel can be prohibitive, as well as time away from work. Interactive, live streaming capabilities fit perfectly into this year’s theme, Looking Ahead: Turning Disruption Into Opportunity. Now more than ever, GAM is a future-focused, solution-based, and undeniably immersive event, featuring world-renowned influencers, including: Shivvy Jervis Award-winning Futurist, Innovation Strategist, and Broadcaster What's Next for the Digital Economy Cheryl Boone Isaacs Film Marketing Executive Immediate Past President, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Fireside Chat With Cheryl Boone Isaacs — From Risk to Opportunity: Leading Through Crisis Seth Mattison Workforce Trends Expert Co-founder and Chief Movement Officer, Luminate Labs Deploying a Disruptive Mindset: Workforce of the Future Even if you are not a CAE you can take advantage of the opportunity to engage with global thought leaders who share unique perspectives and tangible tools to help evolve both the professional practice of internal auditing and its perception, will benefit from live streaming these sessions from 2019 GAM Conference. Live streaming registration is now open. Click here for all the details, including cost, and CPE credits available.
