SoCal Acumatica USer GRoup Q2 Meetup

This year's SoCal Acumatica User Group meetup was held at Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles Inc. with amazing sponsorship from Velixo. The sharing of knowledge, good food, and Velixo's product feature presentations called for a memorable get-together! And as an EXTRA treat for the attendees to polish off the day, we got a tour of the Bandai Namco headquarters, where everyone could marvel at their LA Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani memorabilia wall, along with classic 90's/Y2K toy memorabilia like Pokรฉmon! Hot topics discussed were the sleek new features of Acumatica 2024 R1, an introduction and demo of Velixo and how their Excel-based Acumatica plug-in will positively impact our users, as well as a neat presentation from Velixo CEO, Gabriel Michaud, on the fun Co-Pilot AI features utilizing imported Acumatica data. Nothing like learning AND having fun!!

The SoCal Acumatica User Group is a regional group open to local customers, prospects, partners, and Acumatica employees.

Our Firest ever Client Appreciation event at ANGELS STADIUM โšพ๏ธ

As you probably may not know, July is our company anniversary month, and with that Klear Systems hosted our FIRST ever Client Appreciation Event at the Angels game as a thank you for the constant trust and support we receive from our clients. We spent the night balling(...) out together with our local employees (those out-of-state were sorely missed), a handful of clients, and co-sponsor, EBizCharge.

The night was truly a success all around, ESPECIALLY with the Angels bagging a serious win of 7-2 against the former '23 World Series champs the Texas Rangers (how ya like THEM apples ๐Ÿ˜Ž) and plenty of food and drinks...we work hard, play hard, but best of all, WIN hard!!๐Ÿ† Though this was the first C.A.E. we hosted, it certainly will not be the last - (2025, where shall we go?!)!!

CAE 3-1
Some of our Cali Klear fam - nothing but smiles (and โœŒ๐Ÿผ signs) as the night went on. Clearly the Angels were doing so well because of Lina and her spirit wear ๐Ÿ˜

Shoutout to Bandai Namco - Acumatica client, official Angels sponsor, and the company where we attended the Q2 AUG Meetup - a full circle moment!!
