2022 ProCAT Winners’ Retreat

The Virtual Winners’ Retreats have proved to be more successful than the in-person conferences since we started the tradition many years ago. We are thankful to our clients for participating in the virtual seminars. Despite occasional technical glitches, everyone enjoys the experience and walks away with more ways to use their software efficiently.

We have continuously reviewed the survey responses, learned from them, and improved the next seminar. Therefore, the agenda we have prepared for you reflects the needs and desires expressed to us in our client surveys.

We are confident that you will benefit from these seminars for a long time. Additionally, the trainers include expert staff and working reporters who use these features and will share their real-life experiences with you.
