Hey there, JDE Connection listeners! It’s Chandra Wobschall and Paul Houtkooper here, and we are back with another exciting update! It’s Chandra Wobschall and Paul Houtkooper here, and we are back with another exciting update! We hope you all enjoyed a well-deserved long weekend—we certainly did. It’s that time of year again—INFOCUS 2024 is right around the corner! And guess what? It’s happening in Denver, Paul’s beautiful backyard, from October 1st through the 3rd at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel. We’re getting super excited, and we know you are too!

For those of you who haven’t experienced INFOCUS yet, it’s a unique opportunity to get face time with the JD Edwards development and support teams (yes, that includes Paul and his squad!). You’ll also connect with experts across the JDE ecosystem—developers, product managers, support pros—you name it. It’s three days jam-packed with education, networking, and, of course, fun. Who doesn’t love that?

In this episode we break down some of the key sessions, share a few insider tips, and let you know where you can catch us throughout the event (hint: we’ll be recording a live episode!). And if you thought learning was going to be all business, think again. Quest is planning an epic Halloween-themed party, so get your costumes ready.

INFOCUS Highlights to Watch:

  1. Tuesday, October 1st – 8:45 AM: Start the day off with a bang as Paul and Jon Green present the JD Edwards Roadmap. If you’re curious about what’s next in the JDE world, this is the session you won’t want to miss. And yes, there will be exciting AI/ML updates!
  2. Workshops Galore: From orchestrator deep dives to leveraging JD Edwards tools for process automation, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned JDE pro.
  3. Wednesday, October 2nd – 4:45 PM: Don’t miss our live podcast recording. We’ll be talking about enhancement requests—what they are, how to submit them, and why they matter to your business.
  4. Exhibitor Showcase & Party: Between sessions, swing by the Exhibitor Showcase, and don’t forget to join us for the Halloween bash on Wednesday night. Costumes are highly encouraged—trust us, you don’t want to miss this!

As we prepare to gear up for the event, we can’t help but feel a little nostalgic. If we had our druthers, we’d feature every single session and speaker, but time’s short, and there’s so much to cover!

We can’t wait to see you all in Denver—until then, keep learning, sharing, and, most importantly, laughing together. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to us with your ideas, suggestions, or questions at [email protected].

Until next time—toodles!
