User Group Conference Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I attend the User Group Conference?
The User Group Conference is a live 3-day event jam-packed with moments to educate, train, and inspire members from across your team. 

Thousands of nonprofit employees across North America have attended the annual event since going virtual in 2020.

Over three days, your team will gain exposure to Andar/360 training and software best practices and even see the inner workings of peers' Andar/360 databases.

Best of all, the session lineup has topics of interest for all roles in your nonprofit.
When is the 2026 User Group Conference?
Join us live in the virtual conference hall on Tuesday, April 7th, Wednesday, April 8th, and Thursday, April 9th, 2026.

Sessions will begin in the late morning Eastern Time to accommodate West Coast attendees.

There are breaks between sessions and designated lunch periods.
Why is the conference held virtually?
After taking our annual in-person conference to the virtual landscape in 2020, we saw incredible attendee turnout and significantly improved session satisfaction.

The virtual conference eliminates the need to travel to an in-person conference center, saving both time and money (we're talking thousands saved in travel and hotel costs!). 

Our attending organizations are able to invite more team members, and there's greater flexibility to drop in for sessions of interest. 

We strive to include many networking opportunities and dedicate time for Q&A with presenters. 

Plus, we've added a larger breadth of session topics and more guest speakers.

Best of all, you don't miss a single moment of the conference. Revisit the session recordings anytime, any place.

We will continue collaborating with United Way Worldwide to see if this can be arranged for future events.
Is the conference recorded?
Yes!
