Contract Insights: The Leading Resource for Contract Management & Procurement Professionals

CobbleStone’s 2020 User Conference Goes Virtual

Written by Joshua Hansen | 09/25/20

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, and in consideration of the health of CobbleStone clients, partners, and employees, CobbleStone’s user conference will transition to a virtual, fully-digital two-day event.

CobbleStone’s user conference was initially scheduled to occur in Austin, Texas, from October 7th-9th, but will now tentatively take place in early 2021.  CobbleStone’s user conference is traditionally an in-person, three-day conference that gathers contract management, legal, and procurement professionals from a vast array of industries.  The virtual event will provide an exciting and interactive experience.  This year’s virtual user conference will include breakout sessions, keynote speakers, CobbleStone exclusive product updates, and more.  It is an invaluable opportunity to educate and inspire current  Contract Insight® users and those interested in learning more about our software.
