Sneak a Peek at the User Group Summit Schedule
Last year’s User Group Summit was an exciting event filled with educational sessions, inspiring case studies, and opportunities to network and exchange ideas. This year, we’re looking forward to making it even better.
Don't take our word for it, here's what last year's attendees had to say:
“I thought the event was informative with clear plans on the purpose of each session. The sessions were led by AvSight staff that are experts in this and that was evident by the knowledge and insights they shared.”
“Really informative quality content. It was nice to talk to other AvSight Users”
“I thought it was great! Well organized and filled with sessions. The networking aspects of it were great and I got to meet a lot of people and understand the industry better.”
“I had a great time networking and walked away with valuable information to return back to my team with.”
“I thought the summit was very informative. It was great to be able to hear the new updates in the most recent release and be able to talk to other users and hear their business practices.”
“Informative and impressive – covering not just what AvSight does and can offer, but also what is to come”
Our team is currently hard at work developing a program filled with insightful sessions that will bring real value to our customers. As we count down the days to the end of advance pricing, we’re excited to share some insights about the content development process and some sneak peeks of the sessions we’ll be presenting.

How Sessions are Planned
A major focus of session planning is understanding what kind of sessions attendees would find valuable. After all, the User Group Summit is for you – so we want to make sure the content is centered around your business challenges, goals, and interests. Understanding these factors is at the heart of the planning process.
We use several channels to understand what our customers want and need:
- Surveys – After last year’s User Group Summit, we compiled feedback from all of our attendees on what was great, where they’d like to see improvements, and what topics and formats they’d like to see covered in future events. During the initial stages of schedule planning, we sent additional invitations for companies who attended to send their suggestions for this year’s program. This allowed us to understand how our customers’ needs have evolved over the intervening months.
- Customer Trends – The AvSight content creation team includes members of a wide range of departments including product, development, support, implementation, marketing, and sales. These individuals talk to a wide ranging group of customers in different circumstances – new and long time users, users celebrating wins and users experiencing challenges. This varied experience offers a realistic snapshot of our customers’ challenges and goals. Our content team looked at common support tickets, feature requests, and direct customer feedback to suggest additional topics.
- Customer Advisory Group – Once the feedback has been compiled, we bring it to our Customer Advisory Group in order to refine the suggestions and ensure that we understood the feedback correctly. We meet with them at various points throughout the development process and invite their feedback on topics covered, session schedules, and outlines for each session.
Why Early Bird Pricing?
AvSight customers who register early for User Group Summit get a couple of special advantages. For starters, they are able to secure a spot before the event sells out. They also get a significant discount on attendee registration fees. We’re able to offer this discount for two reasons:
Early registrants have lower costs. Putting on an event for 300 people is a costly proposition – meeting spaces, meals, networking events – it all adds up. Because of our commitment to helping our customers leverage AvSight for the growth of their businesses, we cover a significant portion of these expenses. Event venues increase the cost of many items the later they’re added. Early registrations help make the event more affordable, so we pass those savings on to our customers.
Early registrants help us shape the agenda. A major focus of the User Group Summit is on providing sessions that will be valuable to our customers. As we shape the schedule, we pay special attention to the business segments and job roles of attendees and work on creating sessions that will be relevant to their needs. Customers who register early contribute greatly to the success of the User Group Summit.
