After twenty years of learning, building and growing, our efforts have come to focus. Since we began in 2002, we’ve helped our clients distribute over $10 billion in critical grant funding. We’re inspired by the impact they make on our world every day, and we take pride in supporting them.

It takes twenty years.

October 25, 2019. That’s the last time we had the privilege of spending time with the SmartSimple Community in-person. 

1,084 days later, we can hardly wait to reconnect, share and learn. 

The SmartSimple Community has grown substantially in the 3 years since our last event, much of that growth coming from regions in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It’s fitting then, that as we start returning back to more in-person experiences, our first stop would be in Europe. 

Exclusive to SmartSimple clients only, the Unite EMEA Conference is a valuable opportunity to deepen your SmartSimple Cloud knowledge and gain exposure to a range of diverse perspectives from peers and subject matter experts (SMEs). 

“The EMEA conference is an event that the SmartSimple Community always looks forward to. While the event has grown every year, the experience is still very intimate, making it a great place to learn and build relationships with SMEs and fellow members of the SmartSimple Community” - Brendan Bradley, Managing Director

Twenty years ago we embarked on a journey. SmartSimple Cloud was the grand experiment. We aspired to make an impact on the world through technology.

The GHSA Annual Meeting is an opportunity for the state highway safety community to gather, discuss and collaborate on how to progress their shared vision of moving toward zero deaths on the nation’s roadways.

Since 2017, we’ve empowered the Washington State Traffic Commission to deliver greater impact in its mission to make Washington state’s roadways safer. We had a great time participating in the Governor’s Highway Safety Association (GHSA)’s annual meeting in  Louisville, Kentucky on September 18-20th.

King Pompilus, the second king of Rome, once reduced the number of days in August to 29. It wasn't until Julius Caesar ordered the creation of the Julian calendar that August retained the 31 days we now follow. We're thankful for that, because we needed every extra day in what was a very busy month!

From preparations for our visit to Louisville, Kentucky for the 2022 GHSA Conference, August webinars, to our annual SOC 2 results, there's plenty to cover in this month's newsletter.

Read on for the month's full updates and upcoming events.
