Aderant’s Annual Global Momentum Conference Unites Users in Orlando

Aderant Experts inspire comradery and equip clients with advantages to reimagine firm success at annual event

June 17, 2019 – Aderant hosted its annual global Momentum conference June 3-6 at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida. The event connected more than 750 new and tenured members of the Aderant family with in-depth and hands-on training, a sneak peek into new product releases, and customer appreciation celebrations.

CEO Deane Price and Executive Vice President Chris Cartrett kicked-off the conference by sparking attendees’ momentum to reimagine their firm’s success during the general session. Both showcased client trust and collaboration which drives innovation at Momentum and beyond, enhancing customer experience and inspiring attendees to bring that energy back to their firms.

Following general sessions, attendees learned from more than 120 breakout sessions with individual tracks based on each area of expertise over the course of three days. The insightful sessions were led by Aderant solution experts and industry leaders. In between sessions, clients had a chance to meet with Aderant Executives and other Experts and interact with more than 20 sponsors ranging from service partners to product innovators in the exhibit hall.

“One of the things that differentiated Momentum was the visibility of senior Aderant people during the event,” said a first time global Momentum attendee. “My particular focus for the week was around Handshake, and the sessions, including case studies, were excellent.”

To strengthen the Aderant family bond, three networking receptions gave guests the chance to meet and converse with like-minded individuals and users from across the globe. Attendees were treated to opening festivities, dubbed “The Elemental Experience” at ICEBAR Orlando and iFly – where they could sip drinks from glasses made of ice, heat up in the Fire Lounge, and take a turn at indoor skydiving. Not to be outdone, the closing soiree, “Hasta Luego!” wrapped up Momentum at Mango’s Tropical Café, where the dance floor was on fire all night.

Momentum attendees also generously gave back to the host city, creating hand-written cards and donating superhero capes for the kids at Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando. Together with attendee donations and Aderant’s dollar for dollar match, meaningful funds were donated to the hospital.

Recognition was given to three firms for their partnership with Aderant: Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton were presented with the “Newcomer of the Year” award for their outstanding preparation and execution of their Aderant Expert implementation; Gowlings Canada earned the “Better Together” award for their proactive participation in Aderant’s Product Innovation Committees (PICs) and sharing experiences and feedback on the Aderant Expert User Community (AEUC); and Holland & Knight was named “Firm of the Year” in recognition of their vision and leadership in making Aderant Expert better for their own firm which, in turn, makes it better for other Aderant firms.

“I’m probably biased, but I truly love Momentum. The energy brought by clients, vendors, and staff is unmatched,” said Megan Haight, Senior Global Events Manager at Aderant. “Reuniting with friendly faces year after year and bringing new clients into the fold is a one-of-a-kind experience. I truly enjoy the role I play in bringing together Aderant’s ever-growing family.”

For 2020, the global Momentum conference will travel to Dallas, Texas. For clients across the pond that can’t wait until then, Momentum Europe will take place this October in London at The Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington.
