<h2>The 2017 ACCE Annual Convention</h2>

<p>Glue Up just finished up four awesome days in the country music capital of the world: Nashville, Tennessee. This past week, Glue Up hosted their&nbsp;<a class="_58cn" href="https://app.glueup.com/event/5823/"><span class="_5afx"><span class="_58cl _5afz">#L</span><span class="_58cm">aterParty</span></span></a>&nbsp;during the 2017 ACCE Annual Convention. This was a great opportunity for our CEO Eric L. Schmidt and other colleagues to meet with hard-working chamber executive leaders and enjoy some good country music.</p>

<h2>#LaterParty</h2>

<p>What better place to hold our #LaterParty than amongst the sounds of some great Nashville musicians? The #LaterParty was Glue Up's way of giving local and international chambers across the US the appreciation they deserve. While enjoying signature drinks and live country music, Glue Up representatives met with some impressive chamber executives to discuss the work they are doing for their member communities.</p>

<p>Glue Up has already been in partnership with chambers across the Asian Pacific and China, such as the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and the Queens Chamber of Commerce in New York. The use of Glue Up's Chamber of Commerce Management Software has helped these chambers to overcome critical strategic challenges. We hope to continue to help chambers in the United States similarly strengthen interpersonal connections and improve management efficiency.</p>

<p>In addition, Glue Up gave out custom cowboy hats to those in attendance. They were a hit among the crowd, and even those who weren't chamber members were wondering where the stylish hats came from.</p>

<p>Overall, the Glue Up team truly had an awesome time in the city of Nashville. We want to give a warm thank you to every person we met at this event. It was both enjoyable and inspirational to hear about all of the work that chambers around the country are doing. Ultimately, we hope that the Glue Up platform can help all chambers overcome their management and member engagement challenges.</p>

<h2>The Party Goes On</h2>

<p>Nashville is just one of the cities that the Glue Up Team has been visiting. In order to learn about the challenges chambers of commerce in the US and across the world are facing, Glue Up has listened at many chamber events across the country and all over the globe. To see other places that our CEO has been traveling, you can read about his adventures and chamber meetings in Myanmar <a href="//glueup.com/blog/eventbank-goes-trip-myanmar/">here</a>.</p>

<p>Additionally, Glue Up is currently hosting a scholarship in which chambers with compelling stories have an opportunity to win our award-winning Chamber of Commerce Management Software for 2 years. This is a great opportunity for chambers looking to improve their efficiency using technology or those who are simply unhappy with their current software.
