YASC DC 2017

Conference Preview

By Leah Etling on May 19, 2017 in News

We’re excited to welcome more than 1400 of our valued Yardi clients to the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., next week for our biannual Yardi Advanced Solutions Conference (YASC).

The networking, fun and learning begins Tuesday, May 23, and concludes Thursday, May 25. Attendees will enjoy a robust schedule of training courses, networking and social events, opportunities to get hands-on with Yardi software, ask the experts and much more. If you’d still like to attend, it is not too late to register.

As he has done for the past 15 years, Yardi founder and CEO Anant Yardi will kick off the event on Tuesday morning with a keynote address to attending clients and staff in the International Ballroom. Mr. Yardi typically offers a high-level overview of technology advancement and points of connection to the real estate industry.

YASC will be held on the West Coast in San Diego, Calif., from Sept. 13-15. International YASC events are slated for Amsterdam, Singapore and Sydney this fall. A growing YASC Middle East took place this past spring in Dubai.

“Our Yardi conference offerings continue to expand, and our goal is for the quality of the client experience to continually improve,” said Tim Hoover, Yardi creative director and producer of the event. “As our repeat attendees can attest, no two YASCs are the same as we strive to make each one better than the last.”

Features of this year’s Washington, D.C., conference includes:

Opportunities to Connect Over Lunch

• Network with industry peers and hear more about what they’re doing and how they’re doing it. At lunch, look for signs on the tables and select your seat based on your area of interest. A Yardi specialist will be at each table to answer product-related questions.

Client Panels and Roundtables

• Considering a new core product purchase or want to improve how you use your existing platform? Check the course list for the client panels and roundtable discussions. These are great places to pick up tips and insight from your industry peers.

Knowledge Central

• Have a technical question about a Yardi product that you currently use or are considering purchasing? This is the place to go for expert help, one-on-one support, product demonstrations and information about upgrades and implementations. The sales team will be giving away some cool Patagonia gear to clients who stop by for a demo, so if you’ve been wanting to ask about a product you don’t yet have, this is a great time to do it.

Wednesday Night Yardi Parti

• Yardi’s YASC celebrations are known for their food, entertainment and fun! Join us to celebrate our 2017 theme: “Energized for Tomorrow” and see what everyone is talking about. Dinner, drinks, live music, dancing, photo booth and more will take place on Wednesday night in the International Ballroom.

Networking Lounge

• Stop by the networking lounge in the foyer of Columbia Hall and sit down for a conversation with your new industry connections. The Networking Lounge is also where you can find Yardi social media staff, who can answer questions about using social channels for branding, marketing and connecting with your consumer base.

Social Media Channels

• We’ll be running contests throughout the conference, so get engaged and share your experience on social media using #YASC2017 for conference news, prizes and more! You’ll find us @Yardi on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, and @YardiSystems on Instagram.
