The 2021 TAGITM Annual Conference was a smashing success. So glad to see our members and partners face to face. Many of our partners said this was their first face-to-face event in over a year. As always, the educational sessions were informative and insightful. We hope to continue the momentum with our regional groups meetings and regional summits throughout the year, leading up to our 2022 Annual Conference in Galveston.

I have some big shoes to fill. We have a strong board committed to carry on Past President Scott Joyce’s success and determination.

William Pham
TAGITM President

Hello, TAGITM!
The 2021 annual conference was a tremendous success, and I could not have been happier to see everyone enjoying all we had to offer. The sessions were informative, the speakers were phenomenal, and every single day brought networking opportunities. I hope you were able to take advantage of every single moment during the week you spent with us. We are back on track and have such a bright future as an association.
