| LabVantage 2008 Training & Education Conference |
 |
This year’s conference will expand upon previous years’ technical formats by offering an expansive array of session topics, an unprecedented number of customer-lead presentations, and more breakout sessions lead by LabVantage developers and technical staff.
Not only have we increased the number of breakout sessions to choose from, but several are longer in length to ensure comprehensive coverage of the topic. These expanded sessions will include a brief overview, followed by in-depth discussion of the subject matter providing significant interest for both business and technical attendees.
Additionally, the post-conference training this year has been increased to include two simultaneous courses. Both are new classes with focus on the New SAPPHIRE R5 functionality.
