Inside ASI-AP

We have a substantial number of AP staff travelling to the US over the coming weeks to attend our "Innovations" (www.advsol.com/innovations) staff and partner conference, as well as attend other scheduled meetings held at the same time. This is the only time of the year a large number of ASI global staff (100+) come together at the same time for training and product updates. I have decided to send 8 people from the AP team this year - our most ever - to ensure we make the most of iMIS 15 related activities for customers and potential customers. It is a substantial investment but I am already very positive about the outcomes and the opportunities that iMIS 15 brings to everyone.

For a number of the travellers, they are taking the opportunity to take some leave before or after the conference to see some sights. Below is a summary of everyone's travel dates and arrangements - make sure it is factored into your planning and communication with customers. No surprises please!
