YASC DC 2013
By Leah Etling on May 8, 2013 in News
Yardi Systems offers multi-day intensive training courses for its clients who use Yardi products to do business every day. Known as the Yardi Advanced Solutions Conference – YASC – this year the gatherings take place in Anaheim, Calif. in the fall and Washington, D.C. in the spring.
On May 21, YASC D.C. 2013 kicks off at the Washington Hilton with a welcoming address from Yardi founder and president Anant Yardi. Over 1200 attendees – a conference attendance record – will then head into two days of intensive classes that will focus on specific aspects of using Yardi software. The goal is to help our valued clients do their jobs smarter and more efficiently.
YASC attendees include day-to-day users of Yardi systems, corporate management, property owners and institutional investors. Course selections are based on requests from clients and feedback from past events.

According to Bryant Shoemaker, who has been going to YASCs since the conferences began: “People come to YASC to learn how other people use the software, how to use it more efficiently, and to get tips from Yardi staff. Maybe they have some parts of the software they would like to run smoother so they can get ideas on how to do that. Maybe they’re implementing a new version or module and want to hit the ground running, The conference provides an opportunity to focus on increasing productivity without the distractions of everyday office duties. Networking with other industry professionals and sharing best practices and tips is another highlight of the event.” Shoemaker serves as Vice President of Government Projects for Yardi.

Attendees enjoy hosted lunches and dinners each day, where they can chat with industry peers. YASC also offers an opportunity for Yardi staff to gain great feedback and added insight from those who use our products every day. Suggestions for product improvements are often gleaned at the conference.
Bryant tells us that his favorite thing about YASC is that he gets to give away a few gizmmos to attendees during lunch. If you’re going to be there, you might want brush up on your knowledge of time zones, prime numbers, atomic symbols and Canadian trivia – names get drawn at lunch and if the drawee can answer one of Bryant’s obscure questions, they are eligible for an upgraded giveaway.
If aren’t able to attend this year’s YASC DC, registration is now open for YASC SB 2013, scheduled for October 9 to 11 in Anaheim, Calif.
