Three days of nothin’ but Workday! To maximize the time we have together, the program is packed. We want to make sure you return home with best practices and the latest news from our product teams and partners. We’ve also planned some fun evening events, so you can meet the Workday team and your customer community colleagues under more casual circumstances—all while enjoying the beautiful city of San Francisco.

The session schedule will become available in early August. When selecting sessions to attend, you’ll choose from product strategy overviews, customer panels, detailed functional reviews, technology discussions, tips and technique sessions, and roadmap reviews. Specific topics we’ll tackle include self-service, HCM and Financials business processes, global features, Workday Payroll, life in production, configurable security, integrations, and more.

Given the caliber of sessions we’re planning, we think the conference pays for itself in knowledge gained. While we can’t measure this scientifically, of course, feedback from past conference sessions indicates that quite a few were worth the price of admission alone. So don’t miss out!

On the Workday Community, you’ll find a forum discussion asking for session suggestions. Look in the Workday Rising 2009 section to add your ideas.
