Shownotes

In this episode, hosts Chandra and Paul recap their experiences at the recent INFOCUS conference, sharing both personal highlights and key takeaways from various sessions. They discuss their different approaches to the event, Paul focusing on customer meetings while Chandra attends and presents at education sessions, and notable sessions. The hosts also reflect on the vibrant community atmosphere, the challenge of choosing between many concurrent sessions, and memorable moments like matching sequin jackets, a tailgate-themed expo, and friendly games of cribbage. They emphasize the value of Quest conferences for all JDE users, from technical staff to leadership, and encourage listeners to “jump on the JDE bandwagon.” Wrapping up with gratitude for the organizers and contributors, they highlight the sense of family and connection that defines the JDE community.
