Top 6 Reasons to Attend PUG 2010

  1. Peer-Sharing! PureShare customers and partners will showcase their PureShare implementations. You’ll see how your peers in other organization are using PureShare products and you are sure to see applications that you may not have considered before. Every year, PUG attendees go home with new ideas that they apply in their own implementations.
  2. Maximize Your Investment! PUG events expose attendees to the latest and greatest features in PureShare products, explained by PureShare experts. We often showcase lesser-known features that can deliver real benefits and maximize your investment in PureShare products.
  3. Stay Ahead of the Curve! During the product roadmap and roundtable discussions, you will be shown the direction we are taking with ActiveMetrics and you’ll get to provide direct input and suggestions to the product management team.
  4. More Peer Sharing! PureShare developers often work in small silos within their respective organizations. Sometimes, only one or two people within the organization has some part of their time dedicated to ActiveMetrics dashboard development. These people tell us time and again how great it is to be able to share ideas and discuss challenges and strategies during a conference dedicated to them. The ideas and strategies that they take back to their organizations help take their existing implementations to new levels and provide real insight into how their dashboards should evolve and grow.
  5. Stephen Few! This year, Stephen Few, an independent and widely recognized authority on business intelligence and data visualization, will be delivering the keynote session at PUG. This is a rare chance to get his perspective on dashboard design and how to efficiently convey the appropriate amount of information to dashboard users.
  6. It’s FREE! PUG is completely complimentary to our customers and partners. We provide snacks through the mornings and afternoons and also provide an amazing breakfast and lunch – all at no charge to the attendees. You simply need to pay your travel and lodging expenses and your evening meals.


Top 6 Reasons to Attend Pre-PUG Training
  1. Deep Dives! Pre-PUG training provides a chance to focus for multiple days on ActiveMetrics development at a deep technical level. The sessions are led by PureShare technical experts. This year’s course on v1.0 to v2.0 transition will be particularly useful for technical personnel.
  2. Hands-on Training! You will spend 2-3 days with PureShare experts, augmenting and honing your ActiveMetrics development skills real-time. You can bring your own projects with you and use them to try the techniques you learn in the training. During break-out sessions and coffee breaks, developers often work hands-on with their peers or PureShare experts to troubleshoot real development scenarios.
  3. Maximize Your Investment! Not only will ActiveMetrics training help you maximize your investment in the product, but pre-PUG training maximizes your training investment. There is absolutely no more effective or productive way to learn than with your peers in a hands-on setting.
  4. Win Friends and Influence People! With the new level of skills, tips, tricks and best practices that you take away from pre-PUG training, you’ll have new tools to develop new dashboards and improve existing dashboards. These skills can make you an invaluable, go-to resource in your organization.
  5. New Insights! Pre-PUG training is not just for developers. Managers and executives will also benefit from the Fundamentals course and/or Stephen Few’s course. They will get ideas and insight into how dashboards can really benefit their organization and themselves. The ideal combination of people to send to pre-PUG training and PUG is a technical person and their manager and/or executive.
  6. Stephen Few! For the first time, PUG will feature a course delivered by an independent industry expert. Stephen Few is a widely recognized authority on business intelligence and data visualization. In addition to delivering the keynote session at PUG, he will also be giving a 1-day workshop on effective dashboard design. This is a rare chance to get his perspective on dashboard design and how to efficiently convey the appropriate amount of information to dashboard users.
