The inaugural PUG CHALLENGE AMERICAS conference concentrates on meaningful information for technically-minded Progress users. The conference will be held June 5-8, 2011 at the Nashua, New Hampshire Radisson Hotel, just minutes up the road from Progress Software's Bedford, MA Headquarters.

The death of Exchange as a face to face event has left a void in the Progress community. Many of us here in the Americas have been keenly jealous of the Europeans' ability to organize PUG Challenge and now we've decided to do something about it!

I am conducting a survey of consultants with a specialization in Progress OpenEdge and other products from PSC. Participants will receive aggregated results which should prove interesting for your consulting practice.

The goal of the survey is to provide information about the market to Progress consultants. We are interested in your experiences in the current economy, as well as the kind of services you provide to clients, how far you travel to client sites, how and where you get new clients, your experiences with legacy code bases, your participation in PUGs, etc.

We are interested in consultants with a long history, as well as those who have just begun in the consulting realm. We are looking for individuals who own consulting firms and employees of firms with a consulting division, regardless of their role in the firm.
