UGM'05 - A Shining Success

Hockley Valley, Ontario - October 2, 2005 - The sun was shining brightly on the valley as over 70 attendees gathered to share ideas and sharpen their Charting Pro skills.

Set within the rolling hills and beautiful colors of Hockley Valley, this year's User Group Meeting took place at the Hockley Valley Resort and Spa where users from 18 different companies convened and enjoyed the opportunity to network and learn more about Charting Pro.

With a variety of sessions to choose from and plenty of opportunities to mingle and brainstorm with fellow industry workers, UGM'05 proved to be a winning combination of activities and events. 15 Specialized tech sessions, informative general sessions, and a best practices panel were just a few of the valuable offerings this year's conference had for its attendees.

"The User Group Meetings are always great and informative," states Katharine Lindsay, Charting Assistant, Clear Channel Outdoor. "You are given the chance to meet people from all over the world who are in the same field as you. The tech sessions provide the perfect opportunity to learn from experienced MISA staff as well as from peers in the outdoor industry. We share ideas, shortcuts and brainstorm to solve problems we all encounter in our daily activities at work. When the UGM comes to an end, you not only leave with valuable Charting Pro knowledge, you also come away with new friends."

"We are really excited to see our User Group Meetings grow from year to year. This year we were able in include the valued participation of MISA's key partners: adBlocks, Datex and Gridcast. It was the perfect event to show our clients the value that our strategic partnerships have brought to MISA's suite of products," explains Monica Baranski, Marketing, MISA.
