Sentient Computing Users Group Sentient Computing currently holds a regular conference where current MacroView users share experiences. Our team presented recent product developments and a proposed product roadmap for the group to comment on.
Users Group 2009
The 2009 Sentient Users Group ran over two days, first a conference was held that saw almost 40 users and 13 presentations, followed by a powerful interactive tech workshop in our most successful users group yet. The group was finished with an intense round of Supa Golf expertly won by Wayne Peel, congrats Wayne!
