• eXtyles Transition User Meeting

    Virtual, February 26, 2025

    We’re holding a half-day virtual meeting for eXtyles customers on Wednesday February 26, 2025, from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm EST. This meeting will be an opportunity for customers to hear from our team about what to expect from us during the transition period and to connect with each other. The goal of this meeting is to provide a forum for you to communicate your priorities to us and to learn from each other as you explore your options.

    All agenda times below are in US Eastern Standard Time.
