The premier spring St. Louis training event makes its first fall debut in 2007! Jay Zimmerman is bringing the highly regarded Gateway Software Symposium back in September.

As avid supporters of this training event, we're working with Jay to get a symposium speaker for the Gateway JUG August 7th meeting. We'll post more on the JUG website as soon as details are available.
