CONNECTIONS | April 8-11, 2018 | Phoenix Convention Center

The annual Netsmart CONNECTIONS event will be held in Phoenix in 2018, and will be an invaluable opportunity for me to engage with Netsmart associates and more than 1,300 others who use Netsmart solutions and services. This annual event is known for offering informative sessions about hot topics in the industry, tips and tricks for optimizing the use of Netsmart solutions and extensive networking opportunities. The General Conference will feature more than 100 sessions – many of which will offer hands-on opportunities for me to develop new skills while receiving real-time assistance and feedback from Netsmart experts and other clients. This conference will allow me to immediately put my learning into practice upon returning to work. All sessions were recommended by clients like us, resulting in an agenda filled with industry updates, best practices, lessons learned and the introduction of new innovations. Sessions are also classified by role and skill level, so I can craft an agenda that matches my interests, abilities and role. Here is an overview of how my attendance will benefit the organization:
