After you crush the admin certification test, you'll earn your organization 5% off future implementation and professional services agreements for one year. Plus, you'll receive a bonafide certificate and Cartegraph swag to proudly show off your new credentials around the office.

The discount can be applied to future implementation and professional services agreements, such as extended support, quarterly or bi-annual training events, integrations, or other services engagements.

The first two days of Cartegraph’s CarteCon kicks off with Admin Certification training. We’ll cover the concepts and features needed to get the most out of your Cartegraph OMS solution. We are launching a fresh take on our Admin Certification program at the 2023 CarteCon. You have a chance to get Admin Certification, plus competencies in up to six specialty areas.

Day 1 takes you through an overview of the Cartegraph OMS with interactive training sessions and best practices from Cartegraph industry leads. When you pass the exam, you’ll be Admin Certified. Here’s the twist, Day 2 focuses on specialty training that takes a deeper dive into critical areas of the system that you use or would like to use. You’ll earn your competencies for that subject when you pass the exam for any of these areas.

You can also beat the conference-day rush by checking in from 4:00–8:00pm.

It’s going to be warm. Expect highs around 83°F and lows around 63°F. We recommend keeping your eye on the weather as we get closer to the conference, and be sure to pack extra layers and an umbrella, so you’re prepared.
