Before you go asking for travel approval, you may want to have some secret weapons in your back pocket. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got you covered!<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Know the Explore Agenda, Create a Plan<\/h3>\n<p>First, you\u2019re going to want to have a good understanding of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/about\/eventsagenda\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Explore agenda<\/a> and how it will help you to grow in your current position and improve your company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/cloud-erp\">ERP<\/a> processes. With over 25 breakouts and five training courses to choose from, you\u2019re bound to find many sessions to give you an edge on your skills and product knowledge. Oh, and did we mention that manufacturing guru and lean production expert, James Womack, will be speaking? You\u2019re not going to want to miss that!<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Be Sure You Can Answer the Question: \u201cWhy Go to Explore?\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Year-after-year, customers return to Explore. They went last year, the year before, and the year before that. Why do they continue to join us? We often hear that it\u2019s the sessions, training, and networking opportunities with the QAD Experts, so we recently sat down with the team from CK Technologies to gain some insight. We were delighted to hear that not only do they find those common reasons part of why the keep coming back, but they said it enables the continuous improvement of their business. They tackle QAD Explore as a team, come up with a strategic plan of action, and work together to get the most out of the event. It\u2019s a great story, and you can read all about it <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/documents\/case-studies\/ck-technologies-explore-case-study.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Justify Your Trip!<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have a good handle on the sessions you want to attend and can provide a value for attending Explore, now all you need is to wrap it up into a nice package for your manager to review and approve. We\u2019ve done the busy work for you. Download the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/documents\/misc\/explore-2016-justifcation-template.docx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Explore Justification Template<\/a>, customize it, and you\u2019ll be on your way to Chicago in a few months![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4635&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.qad.com\/documents\/misc\/explore-2016-justifcation-template.docx&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4634&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.qad.com\/documents\/case-studies\/ck-technologies-explore-case-study.pdf&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4633&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.qad.com\/about\/eventsagenda\/&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Register Early With a Discounted Rate<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest reasons to get this info in front of your manager is because the Early Bird discount ends on April 1st. After that it\u2019s going to cost an additional $600, and nobody wants to pay more than they could have? So get familiar with the agenda, learn more about why Explore is so valuable, and justify the trip to your manager!<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to seeing you in the Windy City in May![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven\u2019t already, you should probably think about getting approval for your trip to QAD Explore in Chicago.
