One Day Event
Through Deighton’s customer loyalty program and in conjunction with the City of Fort Collins we are bringing the highlights of the 2011 Deighton User Conference (2011 DUC) to Colorado. This will offer you the opportunity to connect with Deighton staff, discover new dTIMS CT updates and enhancements and gain valuable training you can use every day.
The best part is that this one-day conference is absolutely free (including lunch and dinner) and is the perfect opportunity for you to invite colleagues so they can view the full potential of dTIMS CT and the newly released dTIMS MM.
The Deighton team is pleased to be involved in this Regional User Meeting and looks forward to seeing you. Register by email including whether you will be attending dinner.
Venue
The venue for the Regional User Meeting is the Tamasag Retreat Center, 4825 County Road 52E, Bellevue, Colorado. To contact Tamasag call 970.482.4747. Get directions.
Agenda
The following is an agenda of the days events. Please come prepared with a brief introduction that summarizes your use of dTIMS CT or what you hope to get out of the Regional User Meeting. If you have anything you would like to see as a tip or trick please email us by Sept. 21st. At 3:00pm we have an open Tips & Tricks session where we will present your suggestions.
