Registration is open for the 7th Annual KaiNexicon User Conference taking place May 22-24, 2023 in sunny Austin, Texas! You can expect a deep dive into new KaiNexus features, with even more hands-on learning and best practices shared by other KaiNexus customers. With more of the networking you love, there will be plenty of opportunities for learning from KaiNexperts and other customers.

Whether you're a long-time KaiNexus customer or brand new, KaiNexicon is the ideal place to learn ways to leverage the platform and connect with Lean professionals.

"At KaiNexicon, it's very enlighting listening to how others use KaiNexus. After each session, my team and I get together to discuss our takeaways of what we've learned so we can take it back to our organization." - Shawn Shepard, Business Process Analyst, Jack Henry 

Check out the top 5 reasons why you shouldn't miss KaiNexicon 2023: 

1. Network with other KaiNexus Customers

At KaiNexicon, you'll learn how other organizations have been successful using KaiNexus. You'll meet peers from all around the world and hear how they have used KaiNexus to improve safety, grow their ROI, and so much more. The people attending this conference believe technology is a critical component to a thriving improvement culture, and these are the people you want in your network! There is literally no other conference you could go to that has attendees with this narrow interest, focusing on precisely what you're trying to do in your organization.

There will be plenty of networking opportunities, including our beloved SpeedNexus, during our evening social event, group dinners, and more.

2. Maximize Your Use of KaiNexus

Your company has made a serious investment in KaiNexus, but I'd be willing to bet that there's still a lot of untapped potential. You can do so many things with KaiNexus - so many parts of your improvement process that we make easier - that I'm sure there's something to learn. 

Every customer has unique use cases, configurations, workflows, templates, boards, etc. KaiNexus customers do so many different things in the system - from virtual team huddles to strategic deployment to Gemba walks and everything in between - you'll have the opportunity to learn a little something from everyone. This is your opportunity to ask your questions and learn first-hand how to customize your instance to meet your organization's needs.

Don't forget to check out the KaiNexpert table, where KaiNexians can answer your questions and assist with unresolved issues.

3. Engage with the KaiNexus Team 

KaiNexicon allows customers to meet KaiNexus Support, Implementation, Customer Success, Marketing, Sales, and Leadership teams in one place. Ask questions and enjoy getting to know one another during our evening social and mealtimes. 

Download our conference app, Whova, to communicate directly with KaiNexus staff and conference attendees. This is an excellent way to network and stay connected after the conference with other attendees!

4. Eat Texas BBQ 

What makes Texas BBQ - in our opinion - the best? One of the main factors is the use of high-quality cuts of meat, such as beef brisket, which is slow-smoked, giving it a unique, rich flavor. Additionally, using a simple seasoning blend, often consisting of just salt and pepper, allows the meat's natural flavors to shine through. Many Texas BBQ joints are family-owned and passed down for generations, ensuring that traditional techniques and recipes are preserved. So save some room to get some Texas BBQ - with plenty of choices within walking distance from the conference! 

5. Learn from our Keynote Speakers

Last, but not least...we are excited to announce our two incredible Keynote speakers joining us this year - Jamie Parker and Mark Graban!
