#YASCLA 2013

Our biggest event ever

By Leah Etling on Oct 9, 2013 in News

Welcome to our first day of sessions at the Fall Yardi Advanced Solutions Conference (YASC) 2013, held this year in Anaheim, Calif. Our staff is thrilled to be here with more than 1,450 representatives of our valued Yardi clients, making this our biggest conference ever. Thank you for your attendance and making that record possible!

Our goal for the next three days is to help you learn as much about our Yardi products as possible, and send you home from this great event armed with information that you can share with your on-site and administrative Yardi users. We’re also anxious to hear your feedback about our products, support and development process – it’s listening and responding to insight from our customers that has allowed Yardi Systems to be one of the real estate industry’s technology leaders for over 30 years.

This morning, we’ll be beginning the day with a keynote address from Yardi founder and CEO Anant Yardi. He’ll tell us about the direction of the company and identify key industry trends that everyone in real estate management should be  aware of. Many clients have told us that they look to these remarks from Anant as a valuable guide for their business technology needs, so don’t miss the General Session beginning at 8:30 a.m. It will be followed by breakout overview sessions focusing on specific verticals, so you can learn about the hottest new Yardi deliverables for your industry.

After that, we’re off to the races with over 200 courses that will be held through Friday midday. You should already be signed up for your selected classes prior to arrival, but if you need any assistance, simply visit the registration desk, where you can get all of your questions answered.

In the midst of all this learning, sharing and information gathering, don’t forget to take time to chat with your peers. Several of our Yardi course instructors revealed that interaction between clients is one of the most valuable aspects of the conference.

“When they go through their processes, there are a lot of clients doing the same kinds of things, and maybe finding more efficient ways of doing the same kind of things. The interaction amongst them, the networking that they do, is probably the most beneficial. The classes are probably a close second but I think the interaction between them is probably most beneficial to most,” said Dwayne Jordan. You can read more tips from the teachers here.

Here on the Yardi corporate blog, we’ll be sharing some of the highlights of the event. Please come back often to read the latest news.
