| The International Expandable
Users Group Association (IEUGA) staged its
annual Expandable Users Conference May 6-8
at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The conference, titled Expandability

sessions, networking events and presentations.
The theme of Expandability 2007 was "Raising
the Limit." |

| "At
our companies we constantly strive to make
each business cycle more and more productive,"
explained IEUGA President Susan Town of ECCO
in Boise, Idaho. "To drive growth we
consistently set our business and professional
goals higher and higher each term. In short,
we're always 'raising the limit' to become smarter,
more efficient, more productive, and more
profitable. This year's conference was constructed
to focus on how we use our business systems
to raise the limit on productivity by streamlining
processes and automating repetitive tasks." |
| The conference took place
over three days of keynotes, breakout sessions
and events. Conference activities began on
Sunday May 6th with networking excursions
arranged to bring attendees with similar interests
together to enjoy local attractions. Pre-conference
events included a golf tournament, and a "meet
and greet" welcome reception hosted by
Expandable Software, Inc. |
| Improvisational comedian Joel Zeff
kicked off the conference sessions on Monday
May 7th with a presentation that applied his unique style of humor to illustrate how the power of fun can inspire creativity, communication and teamwork in the workplace. |
| Conference breakout sessions covered
a broad range of topics focused on optimizing
use of the Expandable system, and included
presentations by Expandable customers, Expandable
personnel and Expandable business partners.
A special Sarbanes-Oxley track included three sessions that focused on overcoming the challenges posed by the Sarbances-Oxley act. The special track featured a panel discussion with SOx experts and Expandable customers who have completed compliance initiatives. |
| The mid-conference Monday
Night Mixer brought conference attendees together
for a unique dinner at Pampas Brazilian Grille on the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip. "Our goal for the
dinner party was to provide a fun yet professional
networking opportunity for conference participants
to connect in a relaxed environment outside
of the conference center," said IEUGA Events Chair Steve Traynor. |
| The annual Expandable
User Conference is sponsored by the International
Expandable Users Group Association (IEUGA),
an independent, non-profit organization who's
mission is to promote the exchange of information
between users of Expandable Software, Inc.'s
ERP system for growing manufacturers. The
IEUGA is run by Expandable customers who volunteer
their time to sit on the board of directors. |
