Benefits of Attending TDU Global

Don't miss the opportunity to build a network and enhance your skills of Terra Dotta software. The Terra Dotta software user community comes together each year to gain knowledge and ensure their organizations or institutions are using the software to its fullest potential. How can you show the value of attending the conference to others at your institution and secure the budget for your development?

The key is to be persuasive and clearly communicate how your attendance will benefit your institution.

Communicate the value to your employer
