Worried about getting approval (and funds) to come to Atlanta?

We’ve got you covered.

We know money’s still tight and you might get some pushback from the pastor or administration on attending a conference.

Since that may be the case, we thought it would be a good idea to put together a handy little package for your church. First, let them know that Ideas to Impact 2012 will:

• Be the largest, most comprehensive training event for ACS, ACS Organizations, ACS Enterprise, Parish Data System, The City, Headmaster, and Membership Plus clients in the world — with nearly 200 classes offered. Considering that three days of software training alone would cost upwards of $800, this conference is a true bargain.
• Include sessions by folks from other churches that are doing what you want to do, industry experts who will actually show you how to get things done, and senior ACS Technologies staff — plus you’ll have tons of ACS Technologies support at your complete disposal. We have ministry impact sessions you just won't find anywhere else.
• Be your chance to network and “talk shop” with more than 800 other individuals doing what you’re doing.
• No doubt to be an economical trip. This is Atlanta — everything is discounted. Did you see we got the four star Omni Hotel at CNN Center for only $129 a night?  We also purposely kept the conference price on the low end.

Atlanta is a convenient location for travel by air no matter what airline you use. Or if you’re driving, it's easily accessible from several major interstates (I-20, I-85, I-75); we thought all this stuff out for you.

If that’s not enough, we even wrote your request letter for your business manager for you. Just download one of these word documents— choose from an ACS Technologies letter or a letter for Parish Data System clients — fill in the missing areas, pass to your manager, and you’re good to go.

This is a great chance for you to learn, share and re-energize yourself so you can return with new ideas and fresh skills that you can put to work as soon as you return.

We’ll see you in Atlanta!
