Quest conferences are known for delivering a valuable breadth and depth of knowledge sharing that attendees apply and share when they are back at their day job. Nevertheless, we know that many Quest subscribers haven’t made it yet to a conference. What can you expect to learn if you budget to attend a Quest conference in 2018, such as COLLABORATE in April?
Customers on our Knowledge Committees choose our conference sessions from the Call for Presentations. By having customers select the topics, attendees gain valuable and actionable insights from peers and industry thought leaders. If you want to learn more about what makes Quest conferences valuable, please see our blog post, 3 Ways A Quest Conference Will Change Your Life.
