2021 was an exciting year for the Consortium and we are truly looking forward to the year ahead! Discovery and change continue for most everyone in our community. In the last couple months, we’ve had opportunities to share recent work and gather areas of focus for 2022.

The Consortium is made up of fantastic companies that are always testing and pushing the boundaries, but it is people who collaborate and share stories that truly inspire the spark of innovation in others.
Our progress would not be possible without all of the people that come together to support their peers regardless of company, region, or industry.
We hope to see you in 2022 as we celebrate the Consortium’s 30th birthday!
One of the best wrap-ups of last year! Delighted to be part of CSI.
