We will be hosting a Therap Regional Conference in Kansas City, Missouri from May 22-23, 2012.

This is our third conference in the Kansas City metro area. T he first was on the Kansas side.   The 2012 conference will be at the Holiday Inn Coco Key Water Resort.

We expect sessions and attendees from a number of states including Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and more. 

Check our website for additional information.

We will be holding the next Side by Side technology conference with the College of Direct Support May 3-5 in St. Louis, Missouri.

This will be a good opportunity to learn about various Therap Services modules as well as information about CDS modules and their application. Linda Petrini and Web Footed Friends will be there to speak about Talintel.

There will be general Therap sessions of interest to agencies throughout the United States. There will also be Missouri  and Illinois specific sessions or user group discussions.

As with recent Side-by-Side Conferences – there will be an optional package included for a local dinner and site of interest.

We will be posting information to help make choices about the different conferences which are offered. We continue to recommend that provider administrators attend the national provider administration conference in Fishkill, NY in February.

We are having a bit of a challenge in communicating the various Therap conferences, user groups and Therap Information Sessions.

I received an email today from an agency in Fargo, North Dakota asking if our conference for June 2-3, 2010 in Fargo was still on.  Which it is – but it was hard to find on the website.

Our front banner listed our next Side-by-Side Technology in Kansas City, Missouri with College of Direct Support, Rest Assured and joined with participation by CARF and Web Footed Friends.

We have the North Dakota conference listed but you need a few clicks to get there.

Also Montana -

And coming soon Side by Side Technology VI in Baltimore, MD July 27-29, 2010.

Remember there are basically 3 types of conferences Therap runs.

Our national provider administrator conference which is a national conference next held in February 2011 in Fishkill, NY. This conference will have over 10 simultaneous sessions with over 200 total sessions with topics for beginning, intermediate and advanced Therap users. Topics cover everything from using individual modules to agency policies to system development issues.

The Side-by-Side Technology Conferences (such as the upcoming Kansas City, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland conferences) are run jointly with College of Direct Support with Rest Assured as a sponsor and participants including CARF and Web Footed Friends. These conferences have introductory and intermediate sessions for Therap and College of Direct Support users. They also have introductory sessions for non-users of all participants at the session. There are also state specific sessions based on geographical location (for example a session on Electronic Signatures in Missouri).  These conferences are particularly appropriate for potential users and newer customers.

Our regional conferences are training conferences geared to a range of users at agencies. There are state specific sessions often in conjunction with state agencies – such as in Montana. There are typically 3 or 4 simultaneous sessions covering a range of modules.

User group meetings – can be either in person or via the telephone. Typically user groups can range from a couple of hours to most of a day depending on location. Telephone user groups generally cover a state while in person user groups are often a region (Western Missouri, Central Missouri, Western New York, New York City, Hudson Valley, Southeast Connecticut, etc).

Therap Information Sessions are designed for Therap Customers to invite friends to hear about Therap.

We look forward to seeing you at an appropriate event.

The next Side-by-Side Technology Conference will be in Kansas City, Missouri May 4-6, 2010 at the Holiday Inn.

Once again the conference will be with The College of Direct Support and Bill, Annie and Donna will be there.

In addition, we expect to have Rest Assured and Web Footed Friends. As well as Deyta talking about Ancor’s Performance Excellence.

Registration information about conference sessions will be posted on the website.
