Company extends support of premier association for education facilities executives
Santa Monica, CA – March 17, 2010 -- Accruent today announced its plan for sponsorship and participation in APPA’s international and regional events in 2010. Accruent will participate in this year’s national APPA 2010 Conference and Exposition in Boston in July, as well as conferences taking place later this year organized by Eastern Region APPA (ERAPPA), Pacific Coast APPA (PCAPPA), Midwest APPA (MAPPA) and Central Region APPA (CAPPA). The APPA organization provides a forum for executives engaged in the field of educational facilities management, and is dedicated to the ongoing evolution of its professionals into influential leaders in education.
“APPA conferences provide an opportunity to network and exchange ideas around the compelling issues facing our customers,” said Mark Friedman, Accruent’s founder and chief executive officer. “APPA has identified economy, energy, safety and security, succession planning and sustainability as themes for APPA 2010, and Accruent is proud to support these events and participate in the discussion. We will have a booth at each event and offer presentations on topics related to the themes APPA has articulated.”
