Agilysys to Host Inspire 2022 in Las Vegas Feb. 28-Mar. 2, 2022, with Inspiration4 Mission Commander Jared Isaacman as Keynote Speaker

By: via Business Wire

Hospitality Industry Professionals from Around the Globe will Participate in Workshops, Educational Sessions, and Top-tier Networking Events from the Agilysys Team

Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading global provider of next-generation SaaS and on-premise hospitality software solutions and services, announced it will host its annual user conference, Inspire 2022, from February 28 through March 2 in Las Vegas.

The 2022 event will be held in person, off the Strip at the Green Valley Ranch Casino Resort, and will feature three days of educational programming, hands-on training sessions, and a host of creative, high-level networking sessions with hospitality professionals from around the world.

“We are excited to be back together in person after a two-year break,” said Ramesh Srinivasan, president and CEO of Agilysys. “At each of our user conferences, the Agilysys team brings together some of the most talented people in the hospitality industry and 2022 will be no exception. Inspire 2022 will allow us to come together with our customers and work with our partners in the hospitality industry to continue to create the best guest experiences possible.”

Inspire 2022 will begin with a golf tournament at Bear’s Best Las Vegas on Sunday, February 27, and the conference itself will launch on Monday, February 28, at Green Valley Ranch Casino Resort. After a day of workshops, during which attendees can build their skills with hands-on training, Agilysys will host a welcome reception where attendees can meet with Agilysys team members and other professionals from the world of hospitality.

The general session will start day two on Tuesday, March 1, followed by keynote speaker, Jared Isaacman, founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments. Isaacman is also an accomplished jet pilot and is most recently recognized for his role as Mission Commander of the SpaceX flight Inspiration4, which launched from Kennedy Space Center on September 15, 2021, and returned after three days. Inspiration4 was the world’s first all-civilian human spaceflight mission to orbit and has raised more than $240,000,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.

After the keynote presentation, attendees will have access to educational sessions focused on their areas of expertise and then a partner reception to cap the day off. Additional educational sessions are planned for the last day with a closing celebration at Area15, an experiential entertainment complex that spans over 50,000 square feet.

“Every year, our attendees tell us they learn something new and appreciate the opportunity to meet with others in the industry,” said Srinivasan. “We look forward to gathering together again this coming February to reconnect with many of those with whom we have worked for several years.”
