COLLABORATE GROUP REGISTRATION
WHY SEND A GROUP TO COLLABORATE? There are many advantages to sending a group to COLLABORATE but the primary benefit is simple... more education. By having multiple people attend a conference it allows your company to develop a comprehensive content strategy to ensure you leave with a complete education overview.
DIVIDE & CONQUER EDUCATION With over 1,250 education sessions to choose from at COLLABORATE, dividing sessions among colleagues is a proven approach to leaving with a higher satisfaction. A good approach is to look at the education tracks covered at COLLABORATE and decide who from your company should be covering what track(s). Don’t forget, we also have the Executive Forum for C-levels and their direct reports.
SEND MORE PEOPLE, SAVE MORE MONEY OAUG and Quest provide more incentives to those companies that choose to send 4 or more people. Group registration prices drop to as low as $1,400 per attendee. See page 10 for more information.
This is one of the best mass learning resources available for the Primavera community! – Primavera User; COLLABORATE 15 Attendee
