About the ACT Users Group
- The Virtual ACT! Users Group is open to all interested people
who use or intend to use ACT! Our meetings are designed to give users the opportunity
to learn to use ACT! more effectively and find out how other companies are
using ACT! In addition, members will learn about the many add-on products that
integrate with ACT! The meetings are open to the public and moderated by Karen
Fredricks, author of five ACT For Dummies books.
- How it works: Once you have registered for the meeting you will receive a link to the GoToMeeting website, a meeting ID number and the freeconference.com conference call information. Approximately 10 minutes before the meeting, log on to GoToMeeting and call the Free Conference telephone number. You will be able to hear and see the meeting right from your office or home. Should you have a question you can type it into GoToMeeting's Chat area so that the presenter will be able to answer your questions.
- Is there a charge for the meetings? Attendance is limited to 20 attendees to insure that everyone will have a chance to get their questions answered. If you sign up to attend then there is one less slot for another potential attendee. If you cannot attend then unfortunately your space will go unused. By paying a nominal fee attendees place a bit more importance on their reservation.
- Why virtual meetings? Since its inception in 2000, the meetings of the ACT Users Group of South Florida have been held in Delray Beach, Florida. Many ACT! users from as close as West Palm Beach and Miami found it hard to attend. I was constantly bombarded by other ACT users who didn't have a Users Group in their area. Now, any and all ACT users can attend.
- Are there any other benefits to meeting virtually? You betcha! You can attend the meeting without any travel time - and you have a "front row seat" for viewing the presentation. Many participants like asking questions anonymously which leads to great interaction among participants. By conducting the meetings over the Net I am able to make use of my Internet connectivity to illustrate various ACT features that require an Internet connection. In addition, I can invite other "experts" to display their products and answer your questions directly.
- Are the sessions recorded? No. Because the attendees are encouraged to participate the sessions are not recorded to protect their privacy.
- I signed up for a meeting but can't attend. Can I get a refund? In order to keep the meetings reasonably priced, refunds are not issued. However, you can request a free ticket to an upcoming meeting, or send someone else in your place.
Price per session varies by topic but all meetings are limited to 20 Attendees.
