BPM Focus was proud to present the second US BPM Technology Showcase, which took place in Washington DC - October 14-16, 2008. It built on the success of the first US BPM TechShow. The reason - this exciting event format brings you up close and personal with the key BPM vendors. It is designed as a low cost "club-style" event that enables delegates to assess the leading BPM products side by side.
The next TechShow is due to take place in the Atlanta area in early March 2009. This will be followed with a European event in London (probably at the end of April or early May). Locations for these events have yet to be finalized.
