Budget & Travel Changes 2020

Impacts of COVID-19 on Training and Travel

For 25 years, TDWI has been providing in-depth education and training to data management and analytics professionals around the globe. The recent pandemic has certainly hindered our ability to bring this training to our customers face-to-face.

Since data-driven decisions are core to our business, we are reaching out to you to get a sense of what approach companies foresee taking in the second half of the year, as it relates to training and travel. Take this short survey to let us know what delivery channels make the most sense for our customers in the second half of the year.

As a thank you for your feedback all respondents will receive a $100 discount on a TDWI professional development product of their choosing (membership, e-learning, virtual events, live events) and we will be giving away two $225 Amex gift cards.

Estimated time: 3-5 minutes

Thank you!
