As business leaders, among the most important investments we can
make are the ones we make in ourselves. Even in the world of
eCommerce, where transactions take place without the need for face
to face human contact, attending conferences and trade shows is a
great way for me and the OCR team to network with peers and learn
about the latest developments and trends.
