SalesPad, the makers of 'Operational ERP' software, announced today that registration has opened for their PANELS 2018, the technology conference geared toward manufacturing, distribution, warehousing and retail professionals. The conference will be held August 6 through 8 at the JW Marriott and the L.V. Eberhard Center in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.
New to the conference this year is an Operational ERP Spotlight track, open to the public, which provides educational insights for anyone in warehousing, distribution, light manufacturing and mid-sized retail.
“Over the last 5 years, SalesPad has brought hundreds of customers, partners and technology integrators to Grand Rapids to network and explore the latest in enterprise resource planning (ERP) trends and to share our latest insights and tools,” said Jennifer Jurgens, president of SalesPad. “I am especially excited about this year’s event, which will present our largest and broadest curriculum so far. With the advances in technology, the trend toward cloud-based or hybrid, postmodern ERP solutions, and the projected growth in manufacturing and wholesale trades, it’s the perfect time and place for innovation to occur. Every attendee will learn something that helps bring their operations to the next level.”
In past years the conference has attracted SalesPad customers and partners from across North America who are seeking an in-depth look at the latest tools and insights to help businesses streamline operational processes. Participants will be able to take part in roundtable discussions, hear from industry leaders and learn about the latest features in the SalesPad product suite.
“My favorite thing at PANELS is networking with other companies from different industries, but have similar issues and similar things that they’re trying to gain. Learning what other people have done and how we can apply that to our business is important,” said Ben Burris, Operations Manager at Brookings, South Dakota-based Millborn Seeds, who attended PANELS 2017.
The Operational ERP Spotlight track includes a two-day pass to attend the conference and keynote address. SalesPad is offering single-passes at the 'Early Bird' rate of $49 for a two-day pass,
Three-day conference tracks are open to SalesPad software users at the 'Early Bird' rate of $149. Group rates are available. Use this PANELS 2018 link to register for the conference.
SalesPad has been creating software since 2003 that helps manufacturing and distribution companies by giving them more visibility and control of their customer data, purchasing and inventory.
“SalesPad is a very personable company, which is huge for us. It’s a fun event and there’s a lot of good information for all user levels. Our team loves visiting Grand Rapids and talking to other SalesPad customers who have similar processes and challenges, and working through those together,” said Matt Forsyth, Information Systems Manager of Savannah, Georgia-based Circa Lighting and 2017 PANELS attendee.
