The recommendations we are providing are only a small part of the experience available to you at the User Conference. There are hundreds of Moderated Paper Presentations and Tech Workshops to attend as well as countless opportunities to exchange information with your peers. We suggest you use Agenda Search and Planner to plan your UC schedule. You can search the Agenda using keywords such as “local government, public safety, water, sewer, land records, or planning”.
If we miss you at one of the Tech Workshops, stop by the Showcase Island, SIG, or catch us on Twitter during the conference. Enjoy the UC and we look forward to seeing you there.
