HUGE “Thank You” to all of the Attendees and Exhibitors at the
6th Annual CPR+ User Conference
Well, another successful User Conference is in the rear view mirror... As I drove to the Albuquerque airport yesterday afternoon, I kept thinking how awesome it was that, even in this economy, nearly 350 customers and 17 exhibitors gave up their weekend and traveled all the way to New Mexico to be with us. It was fantastic reconnecting with so many customers and friends, old and new. On behalf of everyone at D.H.S., THANK YOU! to all who attended.
After an unusually brief Opening Session led by Stuart and I (we actually kept it under an hour!), everyone enjoyed cocktails on the patio under a star-filled New Mexico sky and a roaring bonfire. Saturday flew by in a blur, with five concurrent tracks of instructional sessions running from 8:30 AM 'til well after 5:00 PM. The Exhibitor hall was packed in between sessions and during breaks and before I knew it, we were wrapping up the Closing Session on Sunday. Putting on a large conference like this is a huge (and expensive) task. I want to thank all the CPR+ staff who worked so hard on this year’s conference, including Kim Carlsen, Laura Pugh, Phil Raynes, Darren Young and of course, all the trainers. I’d also like to especially thank all of the outstanding companies who exhibited at this year’s conference. We’ve listed each one below and I encourage you to consider these company’s products and services. Their support helps us offer you a FREE user conference year after year.
