Connect University 2008
Our previous EMT Users’ Conference, Connect U 2008, was our most successful conference yet, with more than 700 attendees representing 318 institutions and three continents taking over the entire Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort in Phoenix, Arizona.
Connect U 2008 began with a half day of pre-conference workshops during which EMT, ApplyYourself and Common Application staff provided in-depth training on basic and advanced product use. The next two days comprised the Main Conference, and included an intense schedule of 10 breakout sessions during which clients presented to their peers on best practices and innovative ideas for utilizing EMT, ApplyYourself and Common Application products. In addition, customers were given the opportunity to share product feedback with Product Management and Product Development Directors, participate in roundtable discussions regarding commonly faced issues, and learn more about our new EMT Online Users’ Community which launched at the conference. The Main conference ended with the EMT Excellence Awards banquet, where clients were recognized for the best and most innovative uses of the EMT and ApplyYourself products.
The event provided delegates with new ideas, opportunities to network and share best practices with other clients, and a chance to build stronger relationships with their Account Managers. Connect U was a great success and provided a foundation for client learning and collaboration that will be carried throughout the year.
