McLean, VA (Vocus) August 25, 2010

Avectra, the leading provider of web-based association management software (AMS), announced plans for the company’s seventh annual Avectra Users and Developers Conference (AUDC) to be held February 27 through March 1, 2011 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida.

New for 2011, the Avectra Users Conference will include sessions for all Avectra products including netFORUM Team and Pro in addition to sessions for netFORUM Enterprise.

“If you want to be at the forefront of association technology trends driving membership and organization success, AUDC is the conference to attend," said Patrick Dorsey, vice president of marketing at Avectra. "AUDC gives Avectra customers, partners and the rest of our community the opportunity to meet, share successes, and help set the agenda for netFORUM. 2011 will be special for the netFORUM Community; for the first time, we welcome our netFORUM Team and Pro users – the fastest growing user community in the AMS space.”

AUDC 2011 will focus on developer, partner and customer success with netFORUM solutions and will enable Avectra users to get the most from their current deployment. Attendees will meet with netFORUM product teams, expert customer and partner users; get hands-on training and learn strategies and best practices for membership success.

"AUDC is a phenomenal event. It is amazing to see where netFORUM and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) are going," said David DeLorenzo, chief technology officer of the National Association of College and University Business Officers. "I have attended AUDC for six years because it is the place to find out what is new, innovative and exciting in the world of On Demand association management solutions. And as a customer, I get to be at the center of the Avectra community to get real advice and ideas on how to extend the success I have already experienced with netFORUM."

The association industry's largest On Demand event, AUDC 2011 will feature three days of high-impact education sessions – many of which qualify for CAE continuing education credits – all focused on driving developer, partner and customer success with netFORUM association management software.
