This year, there are 2 events that are attracting Baan Users in North America. One is Baan World Users (BWU) that will be held in Montreal (October 19 to 21) while the other one is SSA Global's event held in Philadelphia (September 27-29)

This is the program of BWU - http://www.bwu.org/FW2004/FW2004Content/docs/BWU_FWS04_PP_Final_eb7372a0-d587-423c-92ef-97f7c04fcfe4.pdf

This is the program of SSA - http://www.ssaglobal.com/gcf2004/gcf.pdf

It is interesting to know where the majority of the Baan customers who do attend such conferences will go....

Cheers,

some pros and cons please.??? I am trying to decide where to go. can't go for both.

Each year SSA Global supports and recommends two very important events for you, with two very different reasons to attend.

SSA Global Client Forum 2004

The first event, the SSA Global Client Forum, our premier customer conference, being held September 26th – 29th in Philadelphia, PA is fast approaching. SSA Global Client Forum is the best opportunity for our customers to learn more about strategic business issues and how to utilize software to meet the many challenges your organization confronts every day. This event, designed for manager and senior level executives will explore contemporary topics such as globalization, mergers and acquisitions, Sarbanes-Oxley, RFID and more.

Customers can attend over 100 sessions in 13 different tracks to learn about our future direction and growth strategy, as well as how our SSA ERP and Extended ERP solutions can deliver tangible value to your company. Over 25% of our sessions this year are “real world” case studies, presented by our customers, just like you, who’ll share their experiences using our solutions to resolve complex business issues. And as a BWU Member, we are offering you an additional 20% off the current registration fee. To take advantage of this offer, see conference highlights, use our searchable agenda tool and register for this important event, visit:
