The 9th Global fe-safe User Group Meeting took place October 20-21 at Inn at St John’s, Plymouth, MI. We are pleased to say that this was our biggest UGM yet and we are grateful to all our attendees, sponsors, partners and employees who helped to make it such a success. A big thank you to all who contributed!
Below are instructions on how to access the presentations that we are able to share.
Complete Usability Survey and Download Proceedings
Please take a few minutes to complete our fe-safe usability survey and receive access to a file transfer site containing presentations and recordings from the two day event. The file transfer will contain the presentations and recordings that we have permission to share. Others may be added as and when we receive the necessary permissions. You will receive a notification when any new presentation is added.
We are very grateful to you for taking a few minutes to complete the usability survey. This provides us with valuable information on how you are using our software and what features you like or would find useful. It will help us to ensure that fe-safe and its specialist add-on modules best serve your requirements and help us continue to improve the software. Thank you for your response!
Instructions to receive presentations:
- Open and complete the Usability Survey http://fesafe.questionpro.com
- When we receive your survey results, we will email you a link to the FTP site containing the presentations and recordings
- If you have already completed this survey (in person, at the UGM), you will automatically be given access to the file transfer. If you do not receive such a notification, please email wendy.vaughan@3ds.com
