have the opportunity to connect with
other new consultants, as well as Advisory

collaborate, and socialize with individuals
with similar software skills. These
Practice Group meetings take place
at various destinations and are led
by current maxIT consultants.

Healthcare comes together as a whole
for the annual company meeting. The
Company Meeting is a time of learning,
collaborating, and mostly a lot of
fun to relax, build relationships,
and reward you for a job well done.
