Ideas in Focus: Visionaries in Information Technology




Bagels and IT proved to be a most stimulating breakfast menu when UMBC inaugurated the first Visionaries in Information Technology breakfast series.

The series brought distinguished experts and industry luminaries together with Baltimore-Washington-area business leaders and UMBC faculty and students to discuss the future of IT and its critical role in shaping the modern business environment.

Featured visionary speakers ranged from Arthur Johnson, vice president of corporate strategic development for Lockheed Martin, talking about his company's innovative use of new and emerging technologies, to Allan Chernoff, CNN Financial News senior correspondent, discussing the future of investing in Internet companies.

It was a new twist on traditional networking and was so successful that a new season of Visionaries in Information Technology forums is being planned.

The Visionaries series was sponsored by: Comcast, AT&T, Aether Systems, Allfirst Financial, Capita Technologies, Lockheed Martin, Lucent, Marriott International, Piper Marbury Rudnick & Wolfe, T. Rowe Price, TEKsystems, Verizon, the Greater Baltimore Technology Council, and the High Technology Council of Maryland.
