Empowering Information: 2021 Appriss Retail User Conference

There were virtual high-fives all around when the last widow closed on the Appriss Retail User Conference 2021. High energy presentations and attendee enthusiasm made the five-and-a-half-hour event speed by.

In all there were 17 sessions including four roundtables, two customer presentations, two trivia contests, a guest keynote, and six scholarships awarded by LPF President Terry Sullivan, whose foundation sponsored the event.
