About I.T. Works

Mission statement ("Elevator pitch")

I.T. Works offers vendor-independent information about technical and strategic issues in information and communication technology (ICT) through seminars, newsletters and on-line resource centers.

A bit of history

I.T. Works was founded in 1992 by ir. Patrick Van Renterghem. He graduated from the University of Ghent (Belgium) in 1984 as a civil engineer with a specialization in electronics and computer science. From 1984 to 1992, Patrick did research at the Automatic Control Laboratory of that University in the field of parallel and multiprocessing, doing both hardware and software developments. He presented his research at many conferences worldwide, and published various articles in the trade press. From 1985 till 1992, he was a successful facilitator of events and seminars for the BIRA (the Belgian Institute for Automatic Control), and he was a Chairman of the Working Party DTCS (Digital Techniques and Computer Systems) of the BIRA.

I.T. Works has become the leading organizer of technical and business IT seminars. It is a registered trademark in the Benelux and the strongest brand name in IT seminars in Belgium, known for its information-packed and vendor-independent seminars. The readers of the leading Belgian IT weekly Data News awarded I.T.

Deliverables

Our most important deliverables are seminars, workshops and IT updates. Besides that, we produce various newsletters, blogs and press articles. Most of all, we filter information from hundreds of on-line and off-line IT resources, and we listen to end-users, consultants and vendors to know what is happening in IT today. Over the past 10 years, I.T. Works has grown a network of excellent speakers and happy customers. This makes it possible for us to deliver seminars that answer the needs and requirements of IT professionals more accurately, more quickly and more effectively than our competitors.
