CAI's 56th National Conference and Exposition

Having personally attended the past 16 national conferences, I can say, this was the best in CAI history!  There were upwards of 1400 attendees, 100 industry vendors, and some of the best offerings in educational sessions. I walked away with many incredible ideas from my attendance this year.

From the Welcome Reception to the end of conference Saturday morning, there was a lot to do.  The opening ceremonies included former jet pilots, now known as Afterburner, present what they do to prepare for missions – somewhat similar to what community association managers do on a daily basis.  Their ideas were refreshing and had direct application to community leaders, managers and industry service providers.

TOPS Software co-sponsored the PCAM Reception along with The Flood Company (thank-you!), Thursday evening.  There were about 150 PCAMs (including myself) to congratulate the latest graduating class. I am proud to say my fiancé received her PCAM at this event!  PCAMs are the future leaders of CAI and the industry, to be recognized by our peers is an accomplishment and honor.

TOPS had a new booth and more importantly, showed a "sneak peek" of our web based project, code named Viper.  Many clients and prospects got to see first hand the next version of our program.  The next national conference is scheduled for Orlando, FL, April 30 to May 2, 2008. We look forward to seeing you there!
