That\u2019s okay! Nearly half of the attendees in Detroit last year were first-timers, so you\u2019re in good company. Explore is QAD\u2019s biggest customer conference of the year. Customers, sponsors and QAD experts from around the world come together for a week of sessions, training and stimulating discussions about QAD solutions as well as the future of manufacturing and ERP.<\/p>\n<p>For the Explore-regulars, you won\u2019t be disappointed. The event is enhanced each year leaving you with a lot of information to think about and take home to your colleagues.
