SUMMARY:W303: Activity Integrations – Different Approaches To Syncing Activities Between Your System Of Record And Other Systems
DESCRIPTION:Every association today is leveraging more than one system to engage with members\, whether that’s to collect award applications\, event registrations\, course enrollments\, or something else entirely.
