Friends and Clients:

We are so excited to officially announce this year’s 2019 Applications International Users Conference in Chicago, Illinois.

This event will take place at The Westin Michigan Avenue on July 23rd and 24th. The actual dates of the training and events will be July 23rd and July 24th. However, we understand many of you will want to come in the evening before so we will be having a reception for guests that come in on the 22nd and we will be having our Grand Client Appreciation Celebration on the evening of the 23rd. This year, the evening events will also be family friendly. We know that many of our clients do not get to take many road trips due to corporate budgets, and we appreciate you choosing our event to attend. This year our clients are encouraged to bring their significant others and even their age appropriate children to this event. Please note: there will not be official child care provided. Chicago is a fun, family friendly city, and Michigan Avenue is a true American destination. We are proud to host this event in the Mid-West for 2019, close to so many of our clients.

Additionally, since we are not doing this in conjunction with the ASSP Expo, we have more space and more time. We will be doing a multilevel training experience, round-tables, discovery sessions, client seminars, and of course, road map. We will also have a special guest speaker from ASSP participating and we are very honored and excited to present you all with a world class Users Conference.
