2021 ProCAT Winners’ Retreat is in the history books…

We are truly grateful to our clients for making this year’s retreat another success.  Our goal is to teach and share information with our clients, but invariably we learn so much from our clients and their front-line experiences/needs that will help us be a better company.

Again, Thank you.  We look forward to visiting with you at the next (hybrid) Winners’ Retreat.

2021 ProCAT Winners’ Retreat

ProCAT Winners' Virtual Retreat
The 2020 Virtual Winners’ Retreat ended up being more successful than most in-person conferences over the past several years.  We are thankful for our clients for participating in the virtual seminars, and despite some technical difficulties, everyone enjoyed the experience and walked away for more ways to use their software efficiently.
We have always reviewed the survey responses and learned from them and made the next seminar even better.  The result of the user surveys is reflected in our agenda below.  We will cover the topics that meet your needs and more importantly are reflective of the times we live in. We are confident that you will benefit from these seminars for a long time to come.  Additionally, the trainers include expert staff, as well as working reporters who use these features and will share their real-life experiences with you.
