technologies and advancements.
"The modernization and
renovation of the BICSI
World Headquarters,
including the expansion
of the BICSI Learning

of our commitment to
provide the highest level
of service and value to the
ICT community and our
members, starting with
our home base in
Tampa, Florida."

CEO John Clark Jr., CAE
