A comprehensive one day hands on training course covering the configuration, administration, and every-day use of CiviCRM. This event is aimed at administrators and technical users at organisations that are either using CiviCRM, or interested in evaluating it. It is also useful for staff at organisations that develop or implement CiviCRM who need a complete understanding of "out of the box" features and configuration options.
Agenda
We try to be flexible with the agenda to meet participant requirements and expectations, and the final agenda may change. Topics will include:
- Introduction to CiviCRM - what does it do and how can it help your organisation
- Installation and configuration - making CiviCRM work for you
- Custom data and profiles - extending CiviCRM to meet your data requirements
- CiviCRM components - including event, mail, member, contribute, case, report, grant and pledge
- Website integration - the whys and hows of making CiviCRM work with Joomla or Drupal
- Support and the CiviCRM community - what happens after this training
If there is something specific that you would like to see covered, let us know by commenting on this page.

We're in the middle of migrating our Access database to civiCRM 3.1.
Once the migration is finished, we're planning to use the civiEngage module to customize the user interface for our civiCRM database. Are you familiar with civiEngage?
We have a Drupal website (www.thestrategycenter.org) and many listserves that we send to using a third-party email hosting service. We'd like to use civiMail to replace that provider and full integrate website, listerves, and civiCRM.
We will definitely want to use event, contribute, and member components. Also, is the grant component effective to track foundation leads, grant reports, and correspondence with foundations?
See you on Tuesday!

Hi my name is Hector Mercado, I am working with a couple of non-profit groups who are in various stages of growth.
We have a Drupal site, our main issue is that our information is scattered through out. We would like to use CiviCRM for our email listserves, event creation, and registration.
Currently I have only used the event module, with mixed results dealing with views more then anything.
We would like to take advantage of all of CiviCRMs offerings.

I am looking to learn as much as I can about the general architechture of CiviCRM that will enable me to control the system as a whole. Including how Sessions (if any) come into play, how to create hooks (and what hooks are available where), and just about any other information on the system I can get. And since we do use it in conjunction with Drupal, any programming tasks that would allow us to connect the two systems to make the user experience better.
