Futura User Conference

"Futura did a great job of organizing the User Conference. As a new Futura customer, I really valued networking with other users and hearing their ideas and experiences. I also enjoyed meeting many of the Futura employees working behind the scenes on our implementation. From the short 45 minute presentations and workshops to the food and entertainment, I'd say it's one of the best conferences I have attended!"
