Making Connections

Summit 2011 will kick off with a welcome reception where we will meet and greet all of our customer partners. Attendees can begin to network with one another as they enjoy an array of hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. Everyone will benefit from this opportunity to connect with PaperWise experts and other peer users as the first night of the summit commences.

Educational sessions will run throughout the day in 50 minute blocks of time. Once sessions let out at the end of day one, attendees will have the entire evening free to partake in whatever activities they choose. Take a walk to the Branson Landing where you can shop, dine, and dance the night away. If entertainment is what you prefer, choose from one of the over 100 shows playing in Branson. The choices are vast; you can tour a local winery, enjoy a lake cruise, visit Silver Dollar City or Shepherd of the Hills, enjoy one of the museums, or take in the beauty of the Ozarks with a trip to Branson Zip Lines or the local caverns.

In the evening of day two, PaperWise will host an all-inclusive dinner for Summit attendees. Be treated to a delicious meal, open bar, and yet another opportunity to interact with peers and other professionals. After dinner is over, take in another show or head back over to the Branson Landing and enjoy the fountain show or check out Ernie Biggs Dueling Pianos. Summit 2011 is not all about business, and we are thrilled to host the PaperWise Summit 2011 in Branson where there are so many different attractions.
