To accommodate the many government agencies facing reduced budgets for travel and continuing education, Accela has lowered 2011 conference registration rates by $300 -- a savings of more than 30 percent compared with 2010.
"Accela understands the challenges facing many regional governments in the current economic climate," said Don Nanneman, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Accela. "But achieving efficiency and innovation in government processes has never been more critical. So we're doing our part to make it easier for our customers to reap the benefits that the User Conference delivers."

The Accela User Conference also provides hands-on training classes offering in-depth information on a range of Accela products and solutions. These training classes, starting Wednesday afternoon and continuing all day Thursday and Friday, are available for an additional fee. Because hands-on training classes can fill up quickly, attendees are advised to register as early as possible.
"The Accela User Conference is one of the most invaluable events our team attends all year," said Stan Reichert, IT Project Manager with the City of Oklahoma City. "Every year, the perspectives and training we get there provide us with the ideas and tools we need to continually improve our investment in Accela solutions and augment our service to the public."
