LEAP

I posted earlier about being a new user and looking for assistance as such with my daily duties. I see the LEAP conference but that doesn't seem to be anything along the lines of a learning conference. Is there any type of forum for that? Eileen Dutra

Hi Eileen, I let Workfront chime in with more detailed information. But in my eyes LEAP is pretty much a learning conference. It has many sessions to choose from to learn different things from Workfront Training staff, Workfront Product Managers (or other employees), and from customers as well. It covers a large range of topics (and experience levels) and is excellent. In addition to the learning sessions, they'll talk about the future roadmap for upcoming features, and the Keynotes are usually pretty awesome. I honestly don't like many conferences. But this will be my 6^th year and it's always worth it. This advertisement is NOT a paid announcement ��

Hi Eileen, Vic has it right that LEAP offers a lot of different sessions with different topics (for all levels of Workfront knowledge) and I always hear about how people learn a ton during those sessions. It would definitely be worth it for you to consider attending. So you don't have to wait until the end of April to attend LEAP, here are a few other thoughts for you to consider: - A dmin Bootcamps can be helpful for a deep dive into system administration in Workfront. - We have several videos and web pages that might be a good place to start, so I'd encourage you to check out this page as well . Hopefully that's a place to start! Welcome to the Workfront community! Thanks, Kyna

Hi Eileen, I'm going to chime in here also. Two years ago I had to miss LEAP because I attended another companies conference the week before and couldn't travel back to back weeks. It was a wonderful lesson in how valuable LEAP is to me. I was a new user to the other system and unfortunately learned very little while at the conference. LEAP is all about networking and learning a little bit of everything from the basics to the advanced. Last year there were Admin sessions - very casual gatherings during breakfast to allow for asking questions about how other companies configure, implement, gain user adoption, etc. I think the plan is to do the same this year. Definitely an event you don't want to miss. Whatever you do miss is available for download from their site afterwards... Oh, and make sure to download the app... that's how you can quickly network with others while you're there and add comments, questions in the conference feed. Lots of fun! Hope to see you there, Teale Teale McCleaf

Hi Eileen, To learn more about Leap, I'd recommend checking out workfront.com/leap, workfront.com/leap-us/whyattend, and the "http://lp.workfront.com/rs/758-USO-349/images/19_leap20_leap-session-sneak-peek.pdf" Leap sessions sneak peek . Leap Orlando provides over 150 breakout sessions, 3 keynotes, and 1:1 consulting sessions, so there are a plethora of learning opportunities throughout the week. We will be sending a full list of breakout sessions very soon, so keep an eye out for a blog post about that. If you would like to attend, I also recommend registering by January 31st to get our Early Bird rate and save $300. If you ever have questions about Leap, feel free to message me directly, or email leap@workfront.com. Lisa Stringham

So I am trying to register for LEAP at the Gaylord and the rooms are booked. Does anyone recommend alternative options? -- Brad J.

Hey Brad! If you try and book through the Gaylord's general website, it will say that the hotel is sold out because we have all the rooms reserved. In order to book in our block, you can call and mention the Workfront Leap Conference block, or you can use the link that was pasted in your Leap confirmation email. Lisa Stringham

Ok – Situation Resolved. The original registration email that I received a couple of months ago had a link to use for booking. That link kept showing nothing available. I called the hotel and the reservationist had me go back to Workfront.com/leap , click on the register now, click on already registered, enter my confirmation number and email and then at the top of the screen there was "Book Hotel" button. I clicked on that link and available rooms then showed up. Hopefully this helps someone else. Regards, -- Brad J.
