Learning and Connecting with CPI​

Three days of learning, collaboration, and valuable conversations made CPI’s 2026 User Group Seminar in Washington, DC, a memorable event!
Held November 4–6, 2026 at the historic Willard InterContinental, the seminar brought together CPI users and experts to explore new capabilities, share experiences, and discover practical ways to get more from CPI’s systems and services.
