Tampa, FL -- March 17, 2009 -- Pilgrim Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management (ECQM) software solutions, today announced it is joining with a diverse field of leading industry experts, officials and educators, to present "Industry in Session," the 2009 Pilgrim Educational Webinar Series. This year-long series of complimentary educational webinars has been designed not only for Pilgrim customers, their suppliers and partners, but for all regulated enterprises concerned with compliance, quality, risk and safety management issues.

The 2009 focus is on a broad range of topics surrounding these areas, as well as some of today's most talked-about trends and developments such as environmental concerns, corporate governance and other security risks.  Presenters will include authorities from a broad range of fields offering their insights on current issues, broadening participants' horizons and giving them an edge in today's challenging and highly competitive operating environment.

Pilgrim recognizes that with budget constraints introduced in the current economy, many employees and companies may not receive the on-going education about trends or changes impacting their organization and industry. Pilgrim presents Industry in Session as a complimentary on-line series to allow as many individuals to participate as interested. 

"This cost-free educational series is our way of 'giving back' to the communities that we work with. Our webinars are always accessible to members of all the industries and communities we serve, not 'Sold Out' or 'too costly' for the corporate budget," said Nikki Willett, Pilgrim's Vice President of Marketing & Regulatory Affairs. "Attendees can watch the presentations live from their own desks, or on-demand, when they have available time.  This allows Pilgrim to continue to help the community stay educated on the latest hot topics, issues and trends."

 Pilgrim has firmly established itself not only as a domain expert and leading provider of software, but a thought leader and educator for its customers and beyond. 

"This webinar series will further cement our reputation as the foremost educator within the compliance, risk and quality management software industry," Willett said. "Every speaker has an impactful story to tell, and each provides solutions to today's varied business needs so enterprises can turn these into continuous improvements to gain a competitive advantage."

Pilgrim will present educational webinars every month throughout 2009. The webinars will include a combination of live presentations and interactive Q&A sessions.  Presenters will discuss their areas of expertise, share case studies and lessons learned, and offer tips and tricks for enhancing your operation's success. 

The series kicks off this spring with a broad range of topics:
