In addition to significant presentations by key retailers and industry leaders, the 2008 Users Conference will conduct six industry and solution enterprise focused workshops, including such topics as PCI, merchandise recalls, and more. Another high point of the conference will be the Solution Partners Exhibit, which provides firsthand demonstrations of SofTechnics’ ability to deliver complete retail solutions to complex business problems through strategic partnerships.

As we try to do every year, we believe that this year’s agenda will achieve a good mix of education, recreation, and unstructured time for everyone to network with the retailers, the SofTechnics team, and our business partners.
