Celebrating 20 Years Together
Thanks for a Great Fall Conference #ETMARocksCleveland
Save the Dates for Cleawater 2026
Tue. Apr. 7 — Thu. Apr 9, 2026
On average, attendees reported they formed 2.9 new partnerships with firms they were not doing business with before the conference.
ETMA brings together like-minded people invested in each other’s success, partnering across many different verticals and technologies to grow their business and deliver winning solutions for clients.
Cleveland Fall 2025 Event Highlights
Sessions did a deep dive into the lifecycle of ITFM, Mobility, TEM, and more.
Too many conferences look the same: booths, generic sessions, and too little ROI. ETMA is different.
Our October 7–9 Cleveland conference brings together CEOs and executives who are invested in each other’s success.
The focus is on partnerships, growth, and solving client challenges across verticals and technologies.
Missing ETMA means missing where partnerships are born. 2.9 NEW alliances per attendee at the last conference. Here’s how:
- Real ROI: On average, each firm forms 2.9 new partnerships per conference—with companies they weren’t doing business with before.
- No booths. No gimmicks. Instead, we design the event to maximize meaningful connections.
- Pre-set connections: Registration captures firms you want to meet, and what you want to buy or sell.
- This is shared in the conference app so you can pre-schedule meetings.
