Thursday, May 23 General Session

10 - 11:30 am EDT

Prepare for the Future:

Building Next-Generation Workplaces & Communities

 

Now is a critical time to examine the rapidly changing world around us and actively reimagine our future. Kim’s unique approach to forecasting tracks change over time through a series of longitudinal studies to help leaders find their footing and make the bold future-oriented decisions demanded by this moment.

 

Kim will explore how the very things that make us human—our aspirations, values, relationships, and work—have evolved over time. Through a generational lens, we’ll gain critical insights into where we’ve been, how we got to where we are today, and where we may go from here.

Justify Your Attendance

TUG has created a toolkit to help your manager understand the return on investment they will see from your attendance.

Don't take our word for it.

Here's what a few attendees from previous TUG CONNECTS had to say:

Brian Weaver

TUG always delivers on high quality sessions on the most relevant topics, and provides the best environment to network and enjoy face-to-face with attendees & sponsors.

Great job again in 2022!!

Brian Weaver

NSA Computer Exchange

Mike Rowley

Every year, I sign up for TUG as soon as possible and even before the agenda is finalized.  I've always found it a great investment both in terms of time and monies spent.  The knowledge gained helps us to get the most out of our use of the Infor and 3rd party software.

Mike Rowley
CFO, CIO Rowleys Wholesale

Amanda Taylor

The seminars, food, and people were absolutely incredible. You can tell how much effort was put into this. I cannot wait to attend next year!

Amanda Taylor

Cathy Beers

To steal from another member that is now a great resource for me..."I met my people".  Having financial people attend this conference was fantastic.

Greg Glovach

The TUG Connects Conference is absolutely worth your time and money.  This event packs in the people, information, and opportunity to both enjoy yourself, invigorate yourself, and accomplish all you need in the distribution software space.

Kyle Dinaut

The TUG Connects conferences are a valuable resource for Infor users. Attendees have an opportunity to learn specific how-to functions, and also get access to the collective experience of other attendees, particularly during the guided discussions that take place during roundtable sessions and during social gatherings.

Chris Vonderheide

TUG provided a sense of togetherness, when the world so desperately needs it. Being in a space with users who understand the daily issues, know the fixes, and share the experience they have is very beneficial.

Jeremy Ott

 The amount of networking opportunities this event offers is amazing. I came out of this show connecting with many individuals that I've already had conversations with post TUG about eCommerce topics. I would recommend this conference to any INFOR user!

Wendy Jindra

TUG holds the best conference of any other conferences I attend.  The sessions, networking and organization is top notch and well worth the time and investment.

Wendy Jindra

Glantz

This was a great start to my Infor learnings.  The networking was incredible and the journey to understand the system, its enhancements and capabilities, will far exceed not having attended.  Thank you for the offering, hope to be back again.

Christine Schreck
Nott Co.

Our company has given me the opportunity to attend TUG three times so far and I always walk away with a slew of ideas to bring back to our service team on better use in the system, new things coming, and innovative ideas other members bring up during networking.
