PDI breaks attendance record at 29th Users Conference

Annual training and networking conference brings together more than 800 people.

PDI, a global provider of enterprise software solutions to the convenience retail, wholesale petroleum, and logistics industries, hosted its 2018 North America users conference last week at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Dallas.

The conference, which ran Aug. 19-22, was the company’s largest to date, attracting more than 800 attendees from the U.S. and Canada.

“We celebrated our 35th company anniversary this past June, and our customer family has grown quite a bit just in the last two years alone. This year’s conference was truly holistic, bringing together companies from all the industries we serve with a common goal of becoming better users of the software,” said Jimmy Frangis, CEO, PDI.

Since its last users conference, PDI has acquired five companies—TelaPoint, TouchStar, Excentus, DM2 and FuelsPricing—adding significant wholesale and logistics, loyalty marketing and fuel pricing capabilities to its portfolio.

PDI will host next year’s conference at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tenn.
