Euna Solutions’ inaugural user conference, Eunaverse, marked an impactful launch for both our team and our valued customers in the public sector. Over the course of three days, government innovators and public finance professionals gathered to learn, connect, and chart a new direction for the future of public sector finance technology and collaboration.
The energy in the room made it clear: the Euna Solutions community is ready to accelerate positive change and deliver better outcomes for the people they serve.
How Did Our Community Build Shared Momentum?
Nearly every attendee who responded to the post-event survey told Euna Solutions they would recommend Eunaverse to their peers, with 96% rating the event positively and three out of four saying “Definitely!”
The audience represented a healthy balance across Procurement, Budget, Grants, and Payment customers, underscoring the cross-solution collaboration at the heart of Euna Solutions’ mission. From the first keynote to the final breakout session, there was a sense of shared momentum: when the public sector comes together, it moves faster and smarter.
“Our vision was to create more than just a conference; we wanted Eunaverse to be the spark that brings our community together,” said Brian Haney, Euna Solutions’ Chief Customer Officer. “Seeing the energy, the collaboration, and the excitement about what’s next, I can confidently say we’ve ignited something that will last far beyond this three-day event.”
What Were the Standout Experiences at Eunaverse?
The conference was filled with memorable moments and highlights:
- Astronaut Terry Virts’ keynote transported us into space while delivering grounded lessons in leadership, communication, and resilience. His message to be crew, not passengers, resonated with many public sector leaders in the room.
- Customer Appreciation Night at Planet Hollywood wasn’t just a party; it was where friendships were forged, ideas were exchanged, and collaboration was deepened.
- Hands-on breakouts and 1:1 product training turned big ideas into practical action plans and actionable strategies.
- Solutions Expo gave customers a direct line to product experts and technology partners shaping the tools they’ll use tomorrow.
“Great event! Location, food, speakers and presentations were all excellent.” — Eunaverse Attendee
What Leadership Lessons Did Astronaut Terry Virts Share?
Astronaut Terry Virts reminded us that the principles guiding astronauts can also guide public sector teams and organizations. Trust is built long before the mission, and strong relationships are what sustain teams under pressure.
Communicate constantly and simply, so everyone shares the same picture and knows their role and responsibilities. He emphasized that debriefs should last longer than the mission itself; honest reviews turn experience into institutional knowledge and best practices.
Situational awareness matters more than job title; in critical moments, every role counts. And finally, he urged us to keep perspective. Orbiting the earth in 90 minutes at 5 miles per second is a reminder to zoom out and see the big picture.
“The keynote speaker Terry Virts was fantastic and inspiring.” — Eunaverse Attendee
How Did Each Track Deliver Practical Learning?
Every track delivered insights tailored to the challenges Euna Solutions customers face:
- Procurement: Modern RFP practices and strategies to streamline workflows and procurement processes.
- Budget: Aligning financial planning with community priorities and leveraging data for transparency and accountability.
- Grants: Automations to simplify compliance and cross-department collaboration for grant management.
- Payments: Innovations in secure, citizen-friendly transactions and building trust through transparency in payment solutions.
Attendees also had the chance to grow their own skills beyond product knowledge. Four professional development sessions led by Dr. Tim Rahschulte provided participants with certification credits, ensuring that the learning at Eunaverse contributed directly to their professional growth as well as their organizational impact.
Across the board, the message was clear: practical, tangible improvements are possible today, and the Euna Solutions community is leading the way.
