What is CONNECTIONS?
CONNECTIONS is the Netsmart annual user group meeting that brings together our clients, subject matter experts and vendor partners together for an event full of learning, networking and more! Read below for more details on this can’t-miss event! CONNECTIONS is three and a half days from Sunday evening to Wednesday afternoon, however we also offer pre and post-conference trainings on Sunday and Thursday. CONNECTIONS features a Solutionarium experience, which is an interactive showcase that gives attendees an opportunity to play with our solutions, talk with Netsmart subject matter experts and get an advanced look at what new solutions and features we’re rolling out.
