This year's MaxFest, our annual user conference, will be held in Columbus, Ohio!
MaxFest is a great opportunity to learn from both Maxient staff and your colleagues from around North America about how to get the most out of the software. In contrast to our one-day regional trainings, MaxFest features more specialized sessions (over 35 were offered last year!), led by your favorite Maxient team members and your colleagues in the field, and addresses a wider range of topics and user experience levels.
You'll have an opportunity to attend a variety of sessions covering both system management and process-related topics. In addition to sessions, you can also participate in our Small Group Help and Sharing Spaces where you can share information with your colleagues to disseminate and learn helpful practices used across the country. A Maxient staff member will be available during these sessions to answer questions as well.
In addition to informative 60-minute sessions, you'll attend our Welcome Session and Reception on Tuesday night where you'll learn about new features coming in Maxient and our Lunch and Development Forum on Thursday afternoon to share your opinion on what features might be developed in the future. On Wednesday, you (and any family/guests you might be bringing with you to Columbus) are invited to join us for dinner and a social event off-site. More details on that will be released closer to MaxFest.
As always, attendance is capped. To avoid being left out, be sure to register soon!
If you are interested in sharing how you use Maxient and would like to present a program, please submit a program proposal here. As an added bonus, if your program proposal is accepted, you will receive a complimentary registration to MaxFest (limited to one registration per institution). We hope you'll consider presenting!
