One of our attendees’ favorite way to network with their peers onsite is the Analyst User Roundtables. The idea is simple: one hour, one topic, one analyst moderating, and a dozen user attendees who share their experience, challenges and successes in a group discussion. We have 25 Roundtables this time, covering topics related (or complementary to) the analyst sessions on the agenda.

This year we are also adding another new twist – community roundtables – where users get to choose the topic and a user attendee co-leads the session. If you have a topic you would like to see covered in a roundtable (that you don’t see in the Analyst User Roundtable line up) or you would like to lead a roundtable, please send your suggestions to me.

Because of the limited size, these roundtables often "sell out" very quickly, so I highly recommend you register early (follow the link and sign into Agenda Builder to register for your selected AURs!).
