We offer public seminars at four locations: Irvine, CA, Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, and Lanham, MD. We also offer
classes through eLearning so you don't have to leave your office.
Some companies find onsite classes given at their location a better investment. Onsite classes are $2000/day plus travel expenses.
These courses are convenient, customized using your in-house data, and can be more economical that the public seminars depending on
the size of your group.
Through education you can:
- Improve the software system performance by learning the most optimal ways to set up your jobs.
- Learn how to apply the features/functions of your software to improve your own internal business functions.
- Learn new functionality and features that will increase the overall value of your purchase.
- Take your skills to a higher level of expertise by gaining exposure and learning best-practices.

2004. This year we are inviting you to "Get in the Game" with

spectator sessions.

The Grand Hyatt is offering discounts on rooms for Group 1's team until June 15. This isn't an event to miss. At just $395 for the Early Bird registration, you are sure to hit a homerun with all the information you take back to your company!
Bring a friend or two and sign up to "Get in the Game" - you'll
be part of the cheering section after you attend Horizons
2004.
