The Omnis Developer Conference USA will be held in Las Vegas, March 24-25, 2020. Hosted by David Lewis (Chairman) the conference will include sessions on all the latest developments of Omnis Studio 10.2, the road map and business update presented by senior members of the Omnis development team on Tuesday. On Wednesday there will be workshops and in-depth sessions to help provide Omnis developers with the skills to optimize new/existing applications, improving end user experience and maximizing the value of their applications.

Meet and network with Omnis developers from all over North America and Europe, ask questions directly to Omnis experts and engineers, exchange experiences, view interesting technical solutions and successful Omnis apps, and join us for more than just a glimpse into the future.
High-ranking representatives of the Omnis engineering team and executive management will be available for one-on-one discussions.

Price includes lunch on both days and dinner on Tuesday evening.

The conference is aimed at professional application developers, whether newcomers or experienced in Omnis, as well as project and IT managers, consultants, commercial decision-makers and managing directors – and especially at interested parties who first want to get a more detailed picture of Omnis and get to know the practical experience of Omnis developers.
