SDS/2USERS GROUP

CON F E R E N CE

Each year, the SDS/2 Users Group hosts its annual conference in Lincoln, Nebraska. This three-day event is primarily a learning opportunity. Activities include training on very specific topics determined by the Users Group, the unveiling of new enhancements, award presentations and other events.

Both Design Data employees and SDS/2 customers present innovative SDS/2 techniques, encouraging users to employ the power of SDS/2 to its fullest.

This conference also provides an opportunity for users to offer their input on new developments in SDS/2. Whether suggesting ways to implement new tools or exploring the latest in connection design, members of the Users Group play a large role in the continual enhancement of SDS/2.

This year’s conference will be held at The Cornhusker Hotel in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska.

The 2012 SDS/2 Users Group will host partnering companies via the event’s Partner Pavilion, which is home to the conference kick-off event, Wednesday evening’s reception (sponsored by Peddinghaus), and exclusive conference sessions.

The Partner Pavilion allows companies to display their wares and demo their software to SDS/2 users from around the world. Each partner will also have individual meetings with Design Data programmers and developers during the conference.
