Convio Summit: Soaking it all in

The Convio User Summit wraps up today after a packed agenda of networking, exhibiting, API know-how, email strategies, form-building, multi-channel marketing, and much more.

Summit attendees that I spoke with where a mix of long-time Convio users and recent sign-ups and all expressed the challenge of trying to absorb as much as possible before the last sessions wrap. A lot of the focus from people I talked with was on data integration, APIs, and analytics.

The long-time Convio users I met were spending time in the Expert Lab to seek advice and exchange ideas with Convio staff and attendees. Others were making the Common Ground display a hot spot during session breaks.

We'd like to send a special thanks to all those who came by the Changing Our World exhibit table. We had a great time meeting and connecting with people from these and other organizations:

American Farmland Trust
Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America
Equal Rights Washington
Pathfinder International
North Carolina Conservation Trust
Children's National Medical Center
American Kidney Fund
World Wildlife Fund
American Cancer Society
National MS Society
Peta Foundation
WAMU 88.5 FM
Reserve Officer Association
MD Anderson Cancer Center
