All Systems GO! Here’s What To “Go” For At Simpleview Summit

Go to learn. Simpleview Summit is the premier hotspot for industry learning and thought leadership. With over 60 sessions, pre-conference workshops, trainings, demos, and panels, the opportunity for hands-on, specific training is unmatched. 

Go to pre-conference happenings. The pre-conference workshops are the perfect time to dig deeper into the products and services your team uses daily. Get a deeper understanding from hands-on product demos led by Simpleview experts. Don’t forget to register for the workshops beforehand — while you're at it, check out our pre-conference activities, happening on Sunday, April 23. Explore the host city of Houston by registering for one of the limited first-come, first-serve spots. 

Go to take notes. You will leave Summit with project specifics, best practices, and even face-to-face time with Simpleview experts to answer your most pressing questions. Bring all of this valuable information back to your team by taking diligent notes throughout the conference. And don’t worry about your devices running out of power — there will be ample charging points to keep your laptop or phone juiced up for notetaking. 

Go to network. Summit offers a great opportunity for you to brainstorm with industry peers in a relaxed, intimate setting. Put yourself out there, introduce yourself to people, and never miss a networking reception. Try to meet people that are not only in the same position as you but those with different titles as well. Keep the conversations going by connecting with those you meet via LinkedIn or by messaging them on the Summit app. 

Go to meet your Simpleview team. A key part of Summit is taking advantage of in-person meetings with your Simpleview team. Be sure to build in time to your schedule for meeting Simpleview staff face-to-face so they can answer any and all questions you have about products, services, and thought leadership. 

Plan before you go. Summit in summary: a whirlwind. There are countless can’t-miss sessions and activities, so you’ll want to plan ahead. To make the most of your time, think about your end goals before you go — what is the most important information you want to take home? Look at the agenda, figure out what sessions you and your team want to attend, and add them to your personalized schedule on the app.
