Users Conference 2017 - Recap

The 2017 Third Wave Systems International Users Conference came to a close May 18 after two days of great presentations from our users, an unforgettable networking event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and educational breakout sessions. 

Next year, the 2018 Third Wave Systems International Users Conference will be held at DoubleTree Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio. We already have a lineup of speakers being built and we will host our offsite networking event at the legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We will have more information regarding next year’s conference this fall. 

Be sure to visit TWS at the EMO show in Hannover, Germany this September where TWS will be exhibiting alongside its partner, ISBE GmbH.
