Remember -  have fun with [Pimp my] Bonita!

Process Excellence Week (#pexweek), here we come.

BonitaSoft will be present from Jan 16 and ready to demo Bonita Open Solution, answer questions, and chat with all comers about Bonita, BPM, and all things related.

We’ll be pimping* Pimp My Bonita.  The community got the first word, now we’re unveiling it far and wide.

If you happen to be in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA, stop by and say hello to Dwayne McDaniel and Haidar Hadi.  And if you’re there on Wednesday January 18, stop by and say hello to our “Special Guest Celebrity”, Bruce Silver.

Bruce will be there to discuss BPMN and will have on hand a few copies of his most recent book, BPMN Method and Style, 2nd edition. Some of them will go to lucky drawing winners, so be sure to leave us a business card.
