Another incredible CET software Experience conference in the books! 🎉 I had the chance to reconnect with old friends, make new connections, and share my work during a presentation that couldn’t have gone better. Huge thanks to everyone who made the event such a success!

Now soaking up one last day of sun by the pool before heading back to reality. ☀️✈️

I've enjoyed training for Configura Academy for many years and continue to support Configura. After January 1, 2025, I will no longer be scheduled as a trainer through Configura, I have two last classes on the Academy, Beginner and Spec scheduled December 9 - 13 that you can sign up for.

You can still work with me directly. Please visit my revised website at www.catesword.com to schedule training and to see other options and services I offer. I look forward to working with you in the future!

Friends, I’m doing it again!

Join me at this year's in Scottsdale, AZ, October 9-11! I'll be presenting the Level up with Levels! session on Tuesday Oct 10. I’ll teach you how to use Levels, a mysterious and difficult tool in CET.

I’ve presented at every and always try to find something challenging to share and I’ve found it! Levels are the best way to work on multiple elevations of the floor without using Alternatives. Not only will I cover Levels, but you know I’ll have lots and lots of great time saving tips and tricks.
