Celebrating 20 Years at INNOVATE 2011!

We just finished lunch at the final day of INNOVATE and had a special anniversary/birthday cake for the occasion – it’s Jacki’s birthday tomorrow.  It was fun having a ballroom full of awesome nonprofit professionals sing Happy Birthday to Jacki.

Special thanks to Andy Harleman for taking the photo!

130+13+7+7+2+1 = One Great Experience INNOVATE 2011

“INNOVATE 2010 was a great experience and I learned a lot.  It was my first time attending and I’m looking forward to coming next year.”  Alyssa Mulllen, RCAP Solutions

Join roughly 130 professionals from a variety of nonprofit organizations who are part of the JMT family for INNOVATE 2011.  In the past we’ve typically had between 100 and 150 committed nonprofit professionals attend INNOVATE to learn more about Sage Fund Accounting, Sage Fundraising 50, complementary solutions and technology.  It’s also a wonderful opportunity to learn from one another.

Choose from 13 different sessions on Sage Fund Accounting, including Financial Formats, Reporting, Cost Allocations, Data Imports, Payroll Processing and more.

There will be an entire track dedicated to Sage Fundraising 50 on both days with a total of 7 sessions.

We have 7 spotlight sessions on some solutions that have impressed us and open the door on exciting new opportunities for nonprofits to achieve their mission.

Back by popular demand, our computer lab will be open for 2 full days to give you an opportunity to meet 1:1 with our consultants.

All of this under 1 welcoming roof of Mohegan Sun hotel and casino which features shopping, restaurants and entertainment.

Early bird registration ends March 28, so please register now.  We hope to see you there!

“JMT Consulting Group is a valuable partner for us at the Central Wyoming College Foundation.  The opportunities for support and training are easily accessible and (most importantly) cost effective.  This is the 5^th INNOVATE conference I’ve attended and I always come away with new ideas and knowledge to improve my workflow and efficiency.  This year when we went to our board for permission and funds to attend, we had already decided to offer to pay a portion of our cost of attendance due to the current budget constraints.  Our board was impressed that we were that committed to attendance and the quality of training.  Thank you for another solid learning experience.”  Lynette Jeffres, Central Wyoming College Foundation

What Nonprofits Have to Say about INNOVATE

INNOVATE 2011 is Right Around the Corner

We’re busy getting ready for INNOVATE 2011 – working with the hotel, updating the website, pulling together four tracks worth of sessions to make this a great conference.

INNOVATE 2011 is for nonprofits using Sage Fund Accounting and Sage FR 50.  We hold the conference twice a year in the spring and the fall.  Coming up in April the conference will be hosted at Mohegan Sun – a popular location and a site we’ve used in the past.  In the fall, we will be hosting the conference in Las Vegas.

We’re ready to accept your registration and additional information on conference tracks will be added to our website as they are finalized.

We love INNOVATE mostly because we get to see you in person and renew friendship, but we also enjoy bringing information that will make you more effective in managing your nonprofit.  In addition to a variety of subject matter, we will have a variety of learning formats both presentation and hands on labs.  You may want to think about bringing your laptop and so that you may review and learn with your own set up and data.

We hope to see you there!

“INNOVATE is the best seminar ever! The training is excellent and very informational. I like the instructors, their knowledge is great. The lab one-on-one time is the best. This really helps! Thank you so much!”
