Shortly after the release of WebGUI 7, Plain Black Corporation announced its readiness for the WebGUI Users Conference, hosted at the Vegas Club Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV from September 13-15.

Representatives from Plain Black, along with domestic and international field experts, will be offering a variety of workshops.


During the conference, attendees can choose to attend sessions in two tracks targeted towards technical and non-technical users. The technical session track of the conference is geared towards programmers and system administrators. Expert technical presenters will be covering topics on everything from beginner's Perl, wobjects, and the WebGUI's Workflow engine and Spectre.
