emsCharts User Conference

Training Event Overview emsCharts Mobile v3 Track - Plus New Speaker, New Sessions, Vendor Area, Networking Opportunities!

The 2012 emsCharts User Conference is a 2-day event, targeting emsCharts Administrators and Power Users/Trainers, and covering advanced features of emsCharts. We've got a QA focus in the Day 1 general sessions this year, with the keynote address by Doug Wolfberg and emsCharts Staff Panel Discussion immediately following.  We're bringing back the Networking Sessions and User Group meetings. 

The tracks were designed to loosely guide attendees toward the subject matter that is most relevant to them. Attendees, however, are free to attend any session in any category throughout the day.

The venue, PNC Park - Home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, is an exciting location with state of the art facilities for the emsCharts User Conference. Wireless Internet will be available throughout the facility for interactive training sessions.  Don't forget to bring your laptop! This year's Conference Manual will be provided electronically (with the option to purchase a hard-copy with your registration).
