We’re all mortal, right? Who can blame a client for wondering about your longevity if they express concern about the future of your developer-client relationship?

Indeed, we do estate planning and provide for our families with life insurance … but what about our FileMaker clients?

Sooner or later, we all must consider either semi or full retirement. How should you prepare your loyal clients for that eventuality without putting your relationship at risk? What advance preparation is recommended for any databases you're responsible for? Even if your absence is only temporary for vacations, illness or other situations less tragic than your demise, these matters should not be ignored.

This session will be led by two FileMaker experts, Mike Ross and Dennis Burnham, who have confronted these questions in their own careers. Group discussion is welcome and encouraged! Bring your ideas and business experiences to this session. Let’s generate recommendations you can put into effect when you return home and perhaps share with the wider FileMaker community.
