Shhh....be very very quiet...we're hunting wabbits... I'll let you in on what's going on with the User Conference.

We're finally nailing down the class content for the piping, plumbing, and sheet metal estimating tracks at the Educational User Conference.  I'm really excited about what we've got to offer this time around.  We're putting a bit of a spin on some of our classes - and I'll give you a sneak preview.

We're planning on setting up a Workshop in our space.  This workshop will be set-up with computers that will allow us to do some hands-on training on what's new in our piping estimating product, AutoBid® Mechanical.  We'll actually guide you through On-Screen View TakeOff, run calculations, create profiles (for value engineering), slice and dice with Rapid Reports, and then use SIP to dive deeper into details.  It will be a great way to show you the new features as well as give you some tips and tricks on how to use old favorites.  This is a small workshop environment - attendance will be by registration only and limited to only a handful of people during each session.  We encourage you to register early!

If you don't make the workshops, we've still got a lot of great classes.  Rapid Reports is contagious - and we'll spend time showing how to use them as well as go in depth on how to customize them.  We'll even be offering a class on how to create your own Pivot Tables.

And, this year, we'll be hosting Break Out sessions where you'll be divided into groups and learn from each other on how to apply AutoBid to everyday scenarios such as Design-Build activities or Change Orders.  This is just an expansion of the informal idea sharing that has occurred at the past Educational User's Conference.

You can check here for a list of all of the class names & brief descriptions.  Early Bird Registration expires August 15th and saves you $100 - so register now!
