Interact 2008

  • Article

February 11 update: Friday Feb 8th I was requested to attend and co-present a troubleshooting session with Byron. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and listen to your successes and challenges driving the product to improvement as a result.

A new event being delivered this Spring, and for the partners reading this blog and trying to determine how to differentiate between this and Voice Ignite... Voice Ignite is deep technical training for partners. Interact is intended to be an event for UC Community Influencers.
