TOPS comes to you!

CAI Suncoast Chapter CA Day - What a Show!

This fabulous event was held on March 7, 2008 in Clearwater, FL. This event was packed with attendees and vendors. It was great to meet and chat with the many TOPS customers in the Tampa/Clearwater area, and show off a sneak peak of our next generation of software, code named, “Viper”.

User Conference 2008

2008 will be a busy year for TOPS. We are in the planning stages for a series of User Conferences to be held all over the country. A User Conference (not to be confused with training) is an interactive session for TOPS users and TOPS personnel to go over all the new features in the program, the various areas on our web site, and all the related services we offer. We are working with several TOPS partners to coordinate these events. AtHomeNet, Association Ready, and U.S. Bank are just some of organizations that will be part of our User Conferences. We will be announcing the dates and locations over the next two months, please stayed tuned – we hope to see you all there!

U.S. Bank/TOPS Software User Conference - June 25, 2008 will be our first user conference for 2008! Please attend aboard the Queen Mary located on the water in Long Beach, CA. As we received confirmation just before going to press, more details will follow in the April eZine.

AtHomeNet Training Camp - September 25, 2008 Atlanta, GA: Come join us and the AtHomeNet Team for a day of web site education and fun, including a TOPS “mini-user conference.”

Look for us at the following locations

CAI National Conference & Exposition - April 30 to May 3, 2008 at the Disney World Contemporary Resort, Orlando, FL: TOPS is proud to be the Platinum Sponsor for this event! We are committed to the community association industry and Community Associations Institute, this sponsorship is just one example of giving back to the industry.

TOPS will be the first booth attendees will see when entering the exhibition hall. At this event we will be unveiling the next version of our software, code named, "Viper". Work has begun and we are expecting to have a test site up and running soon so that clients can test drive the new program. We are very excited with what we have planned for the near future, and are looking for suggestions to improve and add to our various products and services.
