BPM Community Summit 2015
Event Overview
Based on the positive feedback from last year’s BPM Executive Summit, we are pleased to announce first quarterly BPM Community Summit. Our Customers asked for more than one event every year, so that they do not have to wait for a full year. So we plan to have two BPM Community Summits in Q1 and Q2 prior to the annual BPM Executive Summit in Sep/Oct 2015. This is a forum for the BPM Community to share their BPM and Rules journey and learn from others’ experiences. This exclusive, by-invitation only, event is offered to our valued customers and a few special guests.Event Agenda
