We listened to your input from last year's event (Inforum 2006), and a key message from you was, "We want to connect." You asked for more ways to network with colleagues and engage in valuable conversations. Built into this year's conference, you found a host of new opportunities both formal and informal, to connect and engage with Infor colleagues before, during and after Inforum 2007.

BUILD A BUDDY LIST:
CONNECTATINFORUM

Our networking search engine, Connectatinforum immediately connected you with like-minded people who share the same business challenges and interests as you. Connectatinforum was the Infor business counterpart to social- networking sites, it enabled you to meet people online with similar business and Infor-product interests. On site you were able to connect through organized receptions as well as informal activities; we gave you a "free night" in the agenda just for this purpose. The connections you made through Connectatinforum will likely last long after the conference ends.

ALL TOGETHER NOW:
ENTERPRISING SQUARE

To make it easy to find the people with whom you want to connect, we established Enterprising Square, a large networking space designed to bring enterprising people together between sessions and other "enterprising U" activities. Enterprising Square was organized around the same 11 primary tracks that the educational and technical sessions were, which made it easy for you to connect with others from your product community. It opened on Saturday to accommodate early arrivals who couldn't wait to connect with other attendees, and stayed open for the entire duration of the conference.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER SESSIONS
PARALLEL PATH (TUESDAY AFTERNOON)

You engaged with others on site Tuesday afternoon about business-specific solutions and topics that were organically organized and informally moderated by YOU. This is the only time at Inforum that you weren't surrounded by Infor execs and representatives, so we encouraged you to collaborate and connect spontaneously and informally without us. We provided the rooms and the resources to organize and communicate the sessions, and let you do the rest!
