Akcelerant Hosts 5th Annual Customer Conference

MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA – Akcelerant, a provider of connected software technology for the financial services industry, announced today the success of the company’s 2010 Customer Conference. The event took place September 22-23, 2010 in Akcelerant’s hometown of Malvern, Pennsylvania. More than 200 individuals, including representatives from 90 financial institutions, gathered at the Penn State Great Valley Conference Center for this highly anticipated event.

The conference began with the Opening Ceremony in which Jay Mossman, President and CEO of Akcelerant, spoke on the past, present, and future of the company. Also during the Opening Ceremony, Akcelerant’s annual Pioneer Award was presented to Addison Avenue Federal Credit Union. This award is presented each year to a financial institution that promotes the advancement of technology with Akcelerant. Addison Avenue was selected primarily for their early adoption of Akcelerant’s “next generation” loan origination system earlier this year.

Directly following the opening ceremony, attendees were broken down into a number of small groups in order to facilitate greater knowledge transfer and open discussion. The main focus of this year’s event was education and training on Akcelerant’s collection and lending products.  The agenda included both advanced and intermediate educational sessions, multiple interactive computer labs, grab-and-go lunches focused on networking, and a panel discussion made up of six advanced Akcelerant customers.

SWBC, event Gold Sponsor, and 9 other Akcelerant partners and industry-leading service providers also participated by showcasing their products and services in the exhibit hall and during Akcelerant’s Product and Technology Night.

“The response to the 2010 Akcelerant Customer Conference, from both our customers and partners, has been overwhelmingly positive. We understand that in today’s economy it is difficult to justify any expense. Therefore, our goal was to offer a strong event ROI through intense product training, significant networking, and hands-on education,” states Eric Snyder, executive vice president, business development. “We are grateful for the time our customers and partners invest with us during our annual event and look forward to seeing everyone again in 2011!”
