MicroStrategy Regional and Annual User Conferences:

The MicroStrategy Fall Symposium, held October 10-12, 2005 in Las Vegas, offered a collaborative forum for participants to share business intelligence success strategies and hear from MicroStrategy customers such as Comcast, Monster Government Solutions, Verispan, Lowe’s Companies, Marketing Direct, and Northwest Evaluation Association. Participants attended informative technical presentations and product direction sessions, where they provided feedback on several MicroStrategy products. In addition, attendees had the opportunity to meet one-on-one with MicroStrategy Technology Advisory Service (TAS) principals to discuss their most challenging BI questions.

In conjunction with the Fall Symposium, MicroStrategy hosted an invitation-only Executive Forum. IT executives from leading companies shared best practices in enterprise BI, heard from visionary speakers including BI analyst Cindi Howson, and networked with peers.
