May 17th – 8:00 to 4:00 pm
SacHDI is always looking to prepare IT professionals in Sacramento for what is to come! The future, is not the end of history, but the evolution of it. We cannot simply file what was before us in the books for students to read on and simply forget it. What lies ahead is a growth of what lies behind. This year’s conference has been themed “The Future is NOW” because the future is not what is to come, it is NOW!
