I’ll be speaking at ProdCon this Thursday, June 1st about my class and the upcoming book. Steve Lueck, SVP, Director of Data Management from Associated Bank will join me to talk about his team’s experience with the class last fall. It’s going to be really good! The conference takes place at the Brookfield Conference Center in Milwaukee and you can still get your tickets here.
