CPE 2024 Winter Show in Charleston, SC

by

Who’s going to Charleston?

We’re going to Charleston!

We look forward to seeing you in Charleston!

As always, we will be presenting free training sessions on Sunday morning from 8:30 to 9:45. Learn more about the software. Share ways you are using various features. And, we’ll finish in plenty of time for you to make it to Praise & Worship starting at 10:00.

We will also be in our booth (#314) while the show floor is open. We’d love for you to stop by so we can pray over you, your staff, and your ministry to your community.

If you’ve been watching our live Wake-Up-Wednesday presentations, you know we have lots of new features that were released over the past few months. If you miss part of the training on Sunday (or sleep in and totally miss it!), feel free to ask us about it.

We pray that you are having a positive impact on the lives of those who come into your store.

Jon and Steven (The Twins!)
