Pre-conference Workshops

New! CATAPULT Fundamentals

Pass Type: CATAPULT Pass
Limit: 100 attendees

New to Ignite 2020, Ignite now offers CATAPULT Fundamentals to those who are new to CATAPULT and for those who desire a refresher on basic features and functionalities. In other words, if you aren’t quite a power user yet and have less than one year of experience using CATAPULT, but are eager to learn more about it, then this is perfect for you. Since this course (Basic CAT-U) is offered free of charge in our hometown, Boone, NC, there will be no additional charge at Ignite. Kindly note this is not advanced training. If you’re looking for advanced hands-on training, Success Workshop Day is a better fit.

Schedule Coming Soon!

Success Workshop Day

Pass Type: Success Pass
Limit: 40 attendees

Held on the first day of the Ignite, Success Workshop Day was created for future-focused retailers who strive to become CATAPULT power users. Participants will dive deep into specific areas of their enterprise they seek to improve and share ideas with industry colleagues.

These share-group-style workshops provide problem solving and idea generation through consultation and collaboration. Each workshop session is comprised of a small group of retailers that share common passions and face similar challenges. ECRS will provide all Success Workshop attendees with a CATAPULT sandbox environment, connected with your own Windows, Mac, iOS, Android or Chromebook laptop or tablet, giving you access to the latest version of CATAPULT right in the workshops.

A Success Navigator Consultant or CATAPULT® Expert will facilitate each workshop and offer guidance and ideas to help resolve pressing challenges and operational obstacles. Through personalized consulting, communication with industry colleagues, and open exchange of ideas, these workshops build a foundation that allows participants to gain even more value out of the Ignite experience.

*Please Note: Attendees are also welcome to access their own environments securely from Success Workshop Day. Only use encrypted, multi-factor authenticated methods to access production environments, such as digital® VPN Concentrator with Google Authenticator or WatchGuard® Firebox with AuthPoint MFA.
