Get smart with ASI Europe at this year's Discovery Day for Progress and iMIS users! We will be offering two session tracks, one for Progress users (the Progress track offers a choice of two sessions at each time-slot) and one for iMIS users, as well as an opening session, lunch, and networking reception for all attendees.

The day will focus on how you can "get smart" and achieve success even in these lean economic times. Both session tracks will include extensive participation by ASI customers with the iMIS track being delivered by the European chapter of the International iMIS Users Group (NiUG).

Learn more about the latest versions of ProgressCRM and hear from the Product Advisory Committee on the efforts being made to ensure the future development of ProgressCRM meets your needs.

Educational breakout sessions from a wide range of speakers including Robin Fisk, our partner community, and some great examples of how to get the most out of ProgressCRM in sessions run by ProgressCRM users.

We will also be recognising customers who do "Great Things" with iMIS and ProgressCRM! Submit your organisation here.

The schedule is subject to change.
