Open Discussions

Comments from the 2007 conference indicated that many clients are interested in learning how other companies use GPiLearn and how they motivate users. This open forum is an opportunity to exchange ideas! GP will lead the discussion groups and we invite those attending the session to discuss how their company is using GPiLearn. A computer will be available for attendees to demo how their GPiLearn branded site is set up.
