Nogalis Soars at the 15th Annual West Coast Mega Conference
Kicking off 2018, the Lawson user group community held its first event, the 15th Annual West Coast Mega Conference. Bringing together the Pacific Lawson User Group (PLUG), Southern California, Arizona, Nevada Lawson User Group (SCANLUG), and Northern California User Group (INCLU), 19 vendors and over 100 attendees gathered at the Pacific Life building in Newport Beach, California for a 2-day conference on January 23rd and 24th. Attendees chose from over 60 educational sessions covering topics from upgrading to the latest Lawson version, to migrating from on premise to the cloud. Nogalis hosted 2 sessions (Payroll Automation – How we pay 100,000 employees weekly using IPA with no user interaction & How Several Lawson Clients have cut Operational Costs by 35%) with almost 40 attendees, among the largest turnout of any other vendor session.
In recent years, Nogalis introduced their new security product, LSFIQ . The 2018 West Coast User Conference was the first for attendees to see the latest version of LSFIQ. People who visited the booth were given quick demos of the product, signing those interested up for a free version to test out. In return, they would be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a bitcoin wallet valued at over $100. And just for visiting the booth, attendees were given phone hook clips branded with the Nogalis logo to attach to their mobile phones as a handy phone stand and holder. The bitcoin wallet gathered interest; however, the grand prize was the talk of the event. Those who attended either of the Nogalis sessions were automatically entered in a drawing for a chance to win a FREE helicopter ride from local flight school, Revolution Aviation. The ride would include an introductory lesson, a 40 minute – 1 hour tour of Orange and Los Angeles County, and an opportunity to take control of the aircraft in the pilot’s seat! With many of the attendees being Southern California residents, there was no doubt they wanted to get their hands on this amazing experience.
As gold sponsors once again, Nogalis hosted the evening event at the Marriott hotel, where attendees and vendors enjoyed great food, played casino games, networked with one another, and won raffle prizes.
