About

Software's influence on our lives continues to grow. It not only ensures our security but touches upon every facet of our daily lives. Today, improving software processes has never been more important. The SEPG North America Conference, now in its 20th year, developed out of a need for software and systems engineers to achieve an uncompromising level of excellence.

At the SEPG North America 2008 conference in Tampa, you'll learn the key to software and systems process management - building quality in from the get-go, starting with the processes you use to acquire and develop systems. Throughout the four-day celebration of our 20th anniversary, we'll pay tribute to two decades of strides in the field of process improvement. Plus, we're ushering in a whole new wave of brilliant minds destined to carry on the innovations SEPG North America has launched worldwide.
