Herndon, VA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/08/2006 --The National AMS Users’ Group’s (NAUG) Eleventh Annual Conference jammed in the Chicagoland area on October 18-20, 2006. gomembers staff and customers discussed Q™ and other gomembers’ association management solutions. There was plenty of opportunity to network as well.

The first day of the conference kicked off with creative pre-conference sessions. Gloria McCarthy from WorkShop! led attendees through a series of creativity exercises to learn how to generate usable ideas and solutions. The Q IQ session, led by gomembers’ John Langlais, covered the customization of Q’s homepage to provide more efficient workflows. Attendees were then treated to a company update from Paul Plaia, III, President and CEO of gomembers. Reggie Smith from Speaking Smart gave the group tips on how to keep their organizations relevant to members and prospects. gomembers’ customers also had the opportunity to suggest new capabilities for future improvements to Q. One lucky participant won an iPod Nano for his question!

Thursday was a full day of breakout sessions on data entry, reporting & data mining, membership, meetings & exhibits, and commerce transactions. In addition, there was a special session covering how to prepare for a Q migration. It is a good opportunity to ask questions. The evening was filled with dinner at Topo Gigio, an award-winning restaurant in Old Town and followed by a show at the world-renown Second City comedy club.
