By Eliza Theiss on Sep 16, 2016 in News
The Fall 2016 Yardi Advanced Solutions Conference (YASC) is heading to Anaheim, Calif. September 21-23, 2016. For the third time, Yardi’s West Coast annual user conference will be hosted at
the Hilton Anaheim, located in Orange County near the Anaheim Convention Center and Disneyland.
This year’s event will bring together an estimated 1,500 clients and 400 staff to explore advanced software training, product updates, and important industry topics. YASC will feature 300+ unique courses, panels, peer roundtables, and networking sessions tailored for IT professionals, executives, property managers, property owners, office staff, and trainers.
“This year’s YASC in Anaheim has been re-imagined to offer more learning and networking opportunities for our clients. We’ve streamlined the conference format to offer more unique training sessions on the topics most important to attendees. Throughout the conference, we have added interactive networking activities meant to help clients meet peers and experts within their respective markets.” shares Tim Hoover, Manager of Creative Services and Client Conferences at Yardi.
New to 2016, the conference schedule has been enhanced for expanded client learning and networking:
Stay connected with the YASC App. Attendees can access conference information, maps, social networking, and in-app messaging on the YASC App. Custom tailor your daily schedule with up to 16 classes, demos, panels, and roundtables with the convenient in-app scheduling feature. The YASC App is available for download at the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. A desktop version is also available here.
Get hands-on help at the Computer Lab. Stations tailored to each vertical market will be set up for you to explore Yardi’s latest technology. Our experts will be on hand to walk you through advanced techniques and to answer your questions one-on-one.
Shorter lunch lines and more learning. To improve your conference experience and reduce the wait time during lunches, lunch periods will be split into two sittings. Certain morning courses will be offered again during these lunch periods so you can get in one extra class!
Find your fit at the Networking Lounge. The re-imagined Networking Lounge is a place for you to connect with industry peers in your area of interest. Visit this interactive space to get your social media questions answered, network with peers, and learn about our social media VIP experience and scavenger hunt. Connect and share on your favorite social network using our event hashtag, #YASC2016.
Network with industry peers. During lunch sittings, look for table markers corresponding to your market or area of interest. Connect with fellow attendees to discuss the topics that interest you most. New to networking or need a refresher? Get started with the basics and set your action plan for success.
Unwind over desserts and late-night eats at Thursday’s after-party. After dinner, enjoy time with colleagues and new friends in an atmosphere that matches your tempo. A variety of entertainment, including appetizers, drinks, music, and an open air photo booth, will keep the fun going all night. Whether you’re drawn to a lounge-style soiree or a pumped-up party, we’ve got something for everyone!
Along with the YASC courses, general session, and scheduled entertainment, we wanted to share a few local attractions that may interest clients visiting Orange County. Whether this is your first visit to the West Coast, or your tenth, we hope these opportunities will enrich your experience while at YASC. For a full list of local attractions and points of interest, explore the Points of Interest tab in the YASC App.
Disneyland Park is celebrating 61 years of Disney magic. Fall is the perfect time to visit, as parts of the park will be in festive fall spirit. Explore a galaxy far, far away in Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, featuring re-imagined Star Wars rides. Rediscover classic Disney favorites, like It’s a Small World and Jungle Cruise, and enjoy season-inspired rides (our favorite is Haunted Mansion Holiday).
Disney’s California Adventure Park offers the attractions, dining, shopping, and entertainment of Disneyland, but with extended park hours. See Anna, Elsa and Olaf in the on-stage theatrical debut of Frozen, live at the Hyperion theater. Dining options abound, with a variety of California-themed eateries, such as the Alfresco Tasting Terrace which provides a lounge-style dining experience with great views of the park. A California Adventure must-see is the World of Color nighttime water and color show.
Downtown Disney offers dining, shopping, entertainment, and a movie theater for visitors to enjoy. With free admission and a short walk from the Hilton Anaheim, Downtown Disney is a great way to enjoy the magic of Disney without entering the parks. Also located within the Downtown Disney District, visitors can enjoy the nighttime delta-inspired dining and jazz music found at the House of Blues, Anaheim. Sports-minded guests hoping to catch a game can also find a number of live games and dining options at the ESPN Zone.
A lively area for shopping, dining, and entertainment, the Anaheim GardenWalk is located within walking distance of the Hilton Anaheim. Enjoy a variety of restaurants, bars, boutique shops, and a bowling alley! This is a great location to meet up after a day of trainings or to host a team outing.
