FME UC 2022: What to Expect

The FME User Conference 2022 – The Peak of Data Integration (FME UC 2022) is just around the corner. In less than two months, we’ll all be in the same place and time, finally! 

We’re excited to announce that the complete agenda is now available. FME UC 2022 is a little different from previous years. Our team has been working hard to give you an unforgettable weekend of over 100 fascinating sessions to choose from, hands-on training and experience, networking opportunities and fun-filled social events.

If you’ve taken a peek at our website recently, you may have noticed we have made some exciting changes. This blog post will highlight the three changes or exciting events to look forward to in FME UC 2022.

1. Basecamp

This year, FME UC will be introducing Basecamp! Basecamp is meant to be the hub of FME UC 2022! Prepare yourself for the altitude and come with questions and ideas. Join us at Basecamp on your trekking route to the Peak of Data Integration. The centrally located Basecamp will be the place to meet, talk, learn and share with fellow Safers, partners, and attendees about industry or tech solutions and whatever you may be curious about.

Safers will be stationed at Basecamp throughout the conference from a variety of departments. We are available and excited to answer any questions you may have and solve your data problems with you. Additionally, we will have different information booths or lounges about UX to Product Marketing so we will be answering all your questions beyond data too.
