Looking for a venue to share information and experiences with others who are using the same Accela products as you? Accela User Group Meetings do just that, and are a valuable way to learn from your peers and get more from your Accela solutions. Help for getting a user group started is available, along with all the support you need to keep it going strong.

Getting Started
It’s easy to start your own user group—e-mail info@accela.com to find others in your area using your Accela product. Then decide whom you want to be part of your user group, how often you want to meet, where and how you’ll meet (in person, by phone, etc.), and what topics you want to discuss. Accela can support your efforts from there, in any of the following ways:

•  Provide outreach to user communities to build or expand your group
•  Promote your user group through e-mail blasts, posting on www.accela.com, and other options
•  Provide access to Accela sales and marketing staff for questions and information
•  Supply marketing materials: presentations, whitepapers, brochures, fact sheets, etc.
•  Provide technical support from Accela staff (some cost may apply)
•  Provide promotional items such as pens, luggage tags, and more to use as thank-you gifts, incentives, prizes for    raffles, etc. at your meetings

Networking Support
Another great source for finding out how to build and maintain an effective user group is to sit in on or get input from other user groups.

Upcoming meetings for user groups are posted on the Accela Events Calendar.
