3 Reasons to Attend


1. OpenWater Expertise = Job Security.

As more of us face the realities of a recession, job security is top priority for everyone. OpenWater is answering the call by focusing on making sure you have the tools and training to become an invaluable person at your association.

Come learn the best practice from the 500+ associations that run their critical programs like awards, grants, scholarships, fellowships, certifications, or an annual call for papers through OpenWater.

2. Copy and Paste the Best Practices from the Leading Associations

We’ll debut our new Template Gallery and show you how to copy and paste an entire workflow from another association. Each session at the user conference will be packed with the latest examples of handy configurations that our superusers take advantage of everyday.

3. Meet with us 1 on 1.

This is your chance to meet with our staff 1 on 1 and ask us how we can help you succeed. Whether that’s convincing the board to make a change, improving membership engagement, or getting more off your plate, we’re here to listen and give you the know-how to make your life easier.
