According to Eliot Weinman, president and founder of Intermedia Group and conference chairman, "Our ITCC series of conferences have garnered major support from over 150 of the nation's leading IT consulting, staffing and software firms to date. With a marketing campaign that reached over 2,000,000 IT professionals across the U.S. in 1998, ITCC has been branded as the must attend event if you are an IT consultant or are considering a career in consulting or contracting. With over 3,000 IT professionals attending our past conferences, ITCC has clearly become the nation's leading professional development and recruiting conference for IT consultants and contractors."

Weinman continued, "In several years, it is estimated that over 40% of the IT labor force will be involved in consulting or contracting in some way. With technology becoming such an integral component to the future of our economy, these trends in the IT labor force will play an important role in shaping our national economy into the next millenium. ITCC is the only conference that addresses these changes for the IT professional, and helps chart a course of action for themselves."
