Nestled in the beautiful Wasatch Mountains at the Canyons Resorts, the conference began Wednesday morning with the plenary session where attendees were encouraged to be plugged-in and connected with colleagues back home.

He also unveiled exciting new capabilities such as Cityworks’ Local Government Templates (LGT). Azteca Systems’ development team followed, showcasing new and exciting solution functions.
“A highlight for me was after my presentation when the Cityworks Chief Technology Officer, sat down to learn about how we use Cityworks at General Mitchell International so that he could understand our unique needs,” Pearson said. “To get that kind of concern and commitment from an executive is a clear example of the professionalism and support Azteca Systems gives its users.”
Breakout sessions continued Wednesday afternoon, all day Thursday, and Friday morning. Conference attendees were treated to a breathtaking gondola ride to the resort’s Red Pine Lodge for the annual User Appreciation Dinner and Social. Located mid-mountain and overlooking the valley, the lodge played host to a relaxing and enjoyable evening, with wonderful food and great company in a stunning rustic landscape.
“The Cityworks User Conference feels like a reunion,” Pearson added. “Everyone knows you, cares about what you are doing, and is truly interested in your ideas and concerns. Though it just ended, I’m already looking forward to next year.”
During the conference, exhibitors and business partners showcased their services and solutions in the exhibit hall and were readily available to answer questions and discuss solutions. Over sixty members of Azteca staff were present at the conference hosting and attending sessions, answering questions in the Doctor’s Office, and meeting with clients and partners.ons Resorts, the conference began Wednesday morning with the plenary session where attendees were encouraged to be plugged-in and connected with colleagues back home.
