This year’s Acumatica Summit was the biggest yet! Our team attended, had a blast and wanted to share this brief overview. Some of the highlights include a keynote from Acumatica’s CEO, some great informational sessions, demos and the release of Acumatica 6.1!
Even though this was only the second year that customers were invited to attend, they made up about a quarter of the audience, adding much needed insights and a new perspective to the summit.
