Agenda
A final version of the agenda will be provided in advance with the launch of our mobile event app.
This year's education will play to our theme of Transcend. A new topic will be introduced each day, illustrated through best practices and case studies during the panel discussions and put into action during the workshops to achieve outcomes that will benefit RSPA members: VARs, ISVs, manufacturers, and distributors.
