A record turnout of nearly 250 rental software experts showed up in Arlington, Texas, last week for Point of Rental’s first in-person International Conference since 2019. For more than three-and-a-half days, they studied new ways to get the most out of their rental software and their business.

With more than 50 classes, focus groups, interactive sessions, and one-on-one “Genius Bar” appointments, attendees returned home with dozens of new tips, tricks, and ideas to implement in their businesses. 

“It was great to finally be back and in person, to see our partners again, and to just be out and talking rental with people from so many different backgrounds,” said Point of Rental CEO Wayne Harris. “We’ve added a lot - both in our software and to our team - over the past few years and it was awesome to see everything introduced to so many of the people that use our software day in and day out.”

At the conference, the company also announced its product roadmap, which included a focus on cloud-hosted products Elite and Essentials. This will allow the company to constantly provide the most up-to-date features in the most secure possible environment while retaining functionality. 

Point of Rental’s next International Conference is currently scheduled for fall 2023. Learn more about it at pointofrental.com/conference
