Mention the benefits to the client regarding our expansion

Global reach, local attention
This year, we have created an agenda with an array of topics in each of our three tracks. For the first half of the day, we have a Business Intelligence Shootout Session in our main hall – something we’ve never done before.
In this session, we’ll be bringing a number of our business intelligence solutions forward by answering your key questions surrounding how BI can help your business.
We will break for lunch at 12:30 and be presenting excellence awards at this time. I encourage you all to please bring your meals straight into the main hall for the commencement of our awards ceremony as well as a couple of infomercials we’d like to share.
Before we pass it on to our keynote presenters, I’d like to introduce our exhibitors who have travelled great lengths to join us today.
