2008 Customer Conference Updates

As mentioned in the last issue of NewsCast, Group 1 Software, Inc. will hold its 2008 Customer Conference from May 21 – 23, 2008 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Following the merger of Group 1 and MapInfo into a single software entity under Pitney Bowes, it was decided that the 2008 Customer Conference would combine the annual Pitney Bowes Group 1 Customer Conference and MapInfo’s MapWorld annual customer event.

The educational tracks for the Group 1 Customer Conference and MapWorld will operate separately, but this year’s conference will include common general sessions, meals, awards and social events, as well as a shared Technical Help Center area. While the two groups are sharing Technical Help Center space, the Group 1 area as always will be well staffed with qualified people ready to help solve any problems your company may be having.

Please watch for more information about the 2008 Customer Conference in future issues of NewsCast. Additional information is available online at the conference Web site at http://www.g1.com//About/Events/Conference.
