Learn handy tricks

As developers of the software you use, we've not only developed the ideal workflows for your tasks, we've seen how people in your industry have adapted our software to their needs. We can offer you the best advice developed both in our labs and in the field.

Receive personal attention

Our conference is hands-on for the whole staff: you can speak directly with our friendly developers, support staff, and trainers. Our Learning Lab is open to your questions for the whole conference, with OSAS and TRAVERSE installations handy for direct demonstrations and answers.

Extend OSAS and TRAVERSE

Looking for additional tools to use with your software solution? Stop at our exhibit area and visit our preferred vendors, who are ready to show you products that complement OSAS and TRAVERSE.

The hotel contains a saline indoor swimming pool and an on-site fitness center with Lifetime Fitness equipment available 24 hours a day.

How do I get from the airport to the hotel?

The Radisson Blu offers complimentary shuttles to and from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. There is also a light rail train at the airport that goes to the Mall of America. There is a short walk from the light rail station at the mall to the hotel.

Can my family join me?

Absolutely! The conference meals and events are for adults only, but we will be having an event at the Sky Deck in the Mall of America on Wednesday night that is family friendly (games, bowling, pool tables) and we hope to see them there! There is also plenty for your family to do in the area to keep them busy while you're learning. Adult meal guest passes for breakfasts and lunches are available for $195.
