Final Results for EDW10 CDMP Exams

The CDMP was a hot item at this year's Enterprise Data World in San Francisco! Four free beta exams were offered at the conference, with options to apply to the CDMP at a reduced price. Pat Cupoli's Exam Prep Session started the conference off on Sunday morning with over 40 attending this pre-conference workshop. CDMP was front and center throughout the conference with several different speaker sessions dedicated to certification and promoting the data management professsion. Three exam sessions during the week were filled to capacity, and even had to overflow into a second room to administer exams.

CDMP holders wore ribbons on their badges to identify themselves and at the closing session, all CDMPs were asked to stand and be recognized. Newly certified were also posted on Twitter, as each passed the required exams, for those following #EDW10.
