Despite the slightly lower attendance from years past, this year’s Summit was every bit as successful, if not more so, than the previous two!

We made several changes in the format of the Summit for this year, starting with moving it to Thursday and Friday from the Tuesday and Wednesday that it was held on previously. This allowed us to hold the Spectrum NG Boot Camp before The Summit on Wednesday. In doing this, we were able to give people who had never seen Spectrum NG an introduction to the software before they attended the more advanced and module-specific breakout sessions at The Summit itself.

After a very productive and informative Boot Camp, the conference officially opened with a welcome reception at The Houstonian’s Garden Pool on Wednesday evening. The weather was a bit cool at about 60 degrees, but otherwise it was perfect for an outdoor party.

Thursday morning opened with a keynote speech from Beau Pollack of Trio Electric, who spoke about how to compete in a “green” market. Afterwards, attendees split up and went to their choice of breakout sessions for the remainder of the day. Also, this was when our computer lab, another Summit 2009 first, opened for business. This allowed customers to come in and ask their questions of a CSI expert who could show them things right in the software itself, and it was an instant success.

The afternoon wrapped up with industry-specific Town Hall Meetings, then after a short break, everyone loaded up onto a bus and went to the conference party at The Rainbow Lodge. Once there, everyone went out to the deck for cocktails and appetizers with the entire CSI Software staff, which was then followed by a delicious dinner.

Friday began with a keynote speech by Glen Rappaport, the Vice President of Information Technology for Sport & Health clubs, who spoke about how his organization uses the Microsoft Reporting Services tool to get customized reports from the Spectrum NG data. The remainder of the day was occupied with breakout sessions and computer lab time until we bid our guests a fond farewell at about 3:30p.

We want to thank everyone who made the trip to join us for the Summit, and we hope to see you again next year!
