97% of attendees learned how to better leverage the Avature platform

The Avature Conference is a great experience. It's a number of organization and HR professionals coming together to share ideas. What they've been able to do and leverage within Avature itself and bring this to life so that they can take this back to their own organizations and deploy them."

91% of attendees learned something that will help them solve a business challenge

I can't tell you the amount of things that I've learned sitting in presentations that I didn't even think had anything to do with my business need, where I was able to walk away and say, 'Hey, I can totally take that and solve this other problem that we've been having' in putting our own little spin on the solution that was shared.”

97% of attendees made valuable professional connections

The biggest value I get out of the Avature conference is meeting other system admins. Because Avature is so customizable and configurable, it's worth having those conversations with those other admins to get more knowledge and their understanding of how they've utilized the system in a different way than I probably would have.”

92% of attendees gained insights to improve team efficiency

My main takeaway from attending the Avature conference is a preview into the roadmap and the things that are coming. It allows me, as an admin of our system, to start thinking about creative solutions for our business, so I can go back to my team and we can start addressing problems we may not even realize we have yet.”
