IntegrateLive!

Take part in a new virtual workshop experience! 
IntegrateLive! is a new collaborative effort to bring together changemakers in automation. They seek to align integrators, vendors, and end users that share these common threads:

OPEN: Dedicated to making data flow freely between solutions and willing to work with others, even when they are competitors
SERVICE: Fair business practices, publicly available pricing, and clear communication about what works and what doesn't
HUMBLE: Not believing we have all the answers. Together we are better. Striving to learn from others and serve others at the same time.

The end result? An integrated solution ecosystem that you can use in your everyday problem solving.
