Maddie,

It's going to be a great time for all. I'll be there for both. Let me know what I can do to help and thanks for the invite.

Hi Maddie,

Cynthia and I will be there with bells on.  Let us know if we can do anything to help!

The  Component Relations Section is heading to the Melody Bar after Opening Night on Sunday August 16th.  Dutch Treat for our get-together. 

#ASAE09 Going to ASAE Annual? Party Like It's 1929: CRP or not come join in on the fun http://bit.ly/M5nr7

Maddie,

I'll be there Monday night. Heading home on Tuesday.

Leslie

Can't wait to see everyone! ASAE 09 will be a blast :)

I will, of course, be there.

I will, of course, be tweeting.

I will, of course, be at BOTH the Monday and Tuesday night events.

YAP on, y'all!

I am in for Monday but am flying back on Tuesday.  Hoping for another 80's theme like last year so I can't wait.

Hi YAP Stars,

While I won't physically be in Toronto (but will be following on twitter), I wanted to share something fun Avectra is offering up for this year's ASAE Annual Meeting.

First, we're VERY excited to be sponsoring the Monday's YAP party and hope everyone can make it. But while a party is cool, we also want to make sure that everyone has a little "something extra" to remember this year's show by.

Our theme for the show is "Engage Your Members Everywhere" and we've designed an "Awe-some.Sauce" T-shirt to go along with it. Now, everyone else that comes by our booth has to do a short demo and sit through a presentation. BUT NOT YAPSTARS!

All you have to do is join us in our booth (#915) at 11:00 AM on Sunday.

The first 75 people to arrive, hold their iPhone/Blackberry/Palm-Pre/Cell-phone in the air and have some fun with it (shout out our theme "Engage Your Members Everywhere", yell FOGDIROG!, have your phone ring, or heck - just stand and be noticed!) will get a special YAP edition of our shirt.

It's our way to have a bit of fun and make sure you've got some cool swag.

So spread the word, keep an eye out on Twitter for reminders (#avectra or @avectra), come on by, hold your phone up, give a quick shout out... and walk away with a cool t-shirt!

We'll see you there.

- Ray

Dude. that is so awesome - YAP-tastic, as a matter of fact. I will be there with bells on!  We can all help you tweet it out too! ;)

This is the very definition of awesome sauce!  Make sure your tweets allow room for the RT, because I'm betting you'll get tons.

I will be there! Looking forward to seeing everyone again.--Paul

Trying to push all the work to the "done" side so I can pack and head out to Toronto. Hope you can join KiKi L'Itilien and me for a cool session on Adding Power to Member Communities ...

Date: Tuesday, 8/18/09, 12:45 - 2:00 p.m.
Session Title: Adding Power to Member Communities with Social Media
Description: Is your association thinking outside of the box when it comes to using social media? Discover how chapter professionals are using tools like Twitter, Collective X, Yammer, and Facebook to connect to their members and enhance face-to-face connections. Explore the pros and cons of each platform through case studies, as well as tone, privacy, and the time it takes to foster growth in your online member communities.
