**Charity software specialists Fisk Brett have announced that their annual User 
Conference for users of their Progress contact management database will be held 
on 21 October 2004.**

The 11th annual one-day user conference will be held at the Royal Institution of
Great Britain in London. The theme of the event will be to ask users how well they
know their supporters.

A series of sessions will shed new light on the functionality within Progress that
can be used to improve organisations’ relationships with their supporters.

creative and strategic in their relationships with supporters.
