Just over a week to go before Convergence 2014 in Atlanta and judging by the success we had with Convergence EMEA in Barcelona last November, Atlanta is going to be huge! I am really looking forward to this one. With the exciting announcements we made last week Convergence gives people the opportunity to drill deep into the forthcoming releases as well as find out what else is on the horizon.
As was the case in Barcelona I will have the honour of speaking once again at the main Financial Services Session. I will be joining some fantastic guests so I do hope you will come down and say hello if you are there! I will also be spending time at the Financial Services booth so if you want to find out more CRM in Financial Services or how FinDemo was built please come find me.You can find out more about other sessions here.
