Sheraton Indianapolis Hotel at Keystone Crossing

Location: Indianapolis, IN.

Orchard is pleased to announce the date and location for our 2012 Symposium. The first Symposium with our new three-day format will take place Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, October 2, 3, and 4, 2012, in Indianapolis, IN, at the Sheraton Indianapolis Hotel at Keystone Crossing. There is no cost to attend the symposium and a continental breakfast and lunch will be provided each day; however, travel, lodging, and other meals, are not included.

For current and prospective users alike

While this event is designed for current users of Orchard's products, we encourage prospective users to attend as it is a great way to see our various lab system products, mingle with current users, and get to know more about Orchard Software.

New three-day format!

This three-day format allows us to dedicate one day each to our three products. In 2006, when Orchard Software introduced our Orchard Harvest LIS Symposiums, Harvest LIS was our only significant product offering. Orchard Copia was still in its infancy and Orchard Pathology had just been released in January 2006.

Exposure to all of Orchard's products

Today, six years later, with more than 1,000 customers, we have significantly increased our user base of Orchard Copia and Orchard Pathology, and we are at a point to where we need to dedicate an entire day for each of our three systems. And logistically, since some of our customers utilize various combinations of our products, holding these day-long events back to back in the same week will be more convenient for everyone. It is our intention to move forward with this multi-day event on an annual basis.

"Exceptionally organized; great notebook handouts. Details were well thought out. Impressive. Kudos to all involved in the planning of today's symposium. I am looking forward to next year!"

"Thank you for coming to the northwest! Orchard Harvest has been a great asset to our lab."

"Great to interface with Orchard staff and other users. Very informative-just reaffirms my choice of Orchard as our LIS!"

"I enjoyed meeting other Harvest users and getting their feedback about various issues. I would definitely recommend it to others."
