What is the User Summit?
 
The CiviCRM User Summit started back in 2013, but was known at that time as CiviCamp. We changed the name to the CiviCRM User Summit to better reflect the content and goals of the event. The idea behind the User Summit is to create a learning and networking opportunity for CiviCRM end users who live on the East Coast. The sessions are often led by end users, and are focused on a real world application of CiviCRM that the average end user could implement at their own organization. 
 
Sessions last year included content on payment processing, tips for debugging, using CiviCRM for crowdfunding, and a session with the CiviCRM Core Team where you could ask them anything. Additionally, there were “unconference” sessions taking place during each session slot, so attendees had a chance to have informal discussions on topics of their choice.
 
Visit our website to learn more about the CiviCRM User Summit, register, sign up to be a sponsor, and submit session ideas. We look forward to seeing you in DC in September!
