For this release we’ve localized the app interface and invoice templates in German.

We also fixed a few French localization issues and a bug with the go-to arrow in the Estimate Slips area (for OS X Lion users).

Note: Billings Pro 1.5.4 will work fine with Billings Pro Server 1.5.3

This year we decided to change up the venue from the usual Niagara Falls to Downtown Toronto. It was a nice change of scenery, and a great chance for the out-of-towner’s to see something new.

The setting allowed for great food, shopping, and sightseeing.

A couple of our brave partners, along with Nelly from Marketcircle, completed the CN Tower EdgeWalk (pic below)!

We had Partners from all across the globe, including Canada, United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Australia, and France.

Both our staff and Partners seemed to agree that it was our best conference yet!

Every year we honour a few Partners that have gone above and beyond. We hand out awards to those that have achieved a high level of success, for a few different categories.

Here are this year’s winners:

Top Producer: iOSXpert – Alf Ruppert, Germany

The Top Producer award goes to the Partner who has generated the most customer growth both for themselves and for Marketcircle in a region. iOSXpert has won this award for thee years in a row!

Best Website: GlobalMac Consulting – Tom Lambotte OH, USA

A website that is easy to navigate, easy to find contact info, good use of testimonials, nice standard footer on all pages, good blog, social media links have been included but are not overdone, good implementation of hover states.

Most Daylite Implementations: Blacktip IT – Matthew Bookspan FL, USA

Most Daylite implementations reported to Marketcircle since last MCPC.

Most Billings Pro Implementations: Blacktip IT – Matthew Bookspan FL, USA

Most Billings Pro implementations reported to Marketcircle since last MCPC.

“Link” Award: Orion iIT – Jeff Haynor NY, USA

An award to acknowledge an ability to forge new relationships (specifically with Apple in this case) that benefit both the Partner, the client, and Marketcircle.

Award of Excellence: Puremac – Adrian Treahy Sydney, Australia

An award to acknowledge overall excellence in every aspect of Partnership; quality customer implementations, building of key relationships, assisting fellow Partners, positively influencing the community of Marketcircle customers as a whole, etc.

On behalf of Marketcircle I’d like to extend a big thanks to everyone for coming in – especially those flying in to see us (we all know how fun airports are).

We’re already looking forward to our next conference.

Without further ado, here are some photos:
