Maximize Your Deltek Ajera Knowledge through Learning and Networking
Even with more than 3500 customers, Deltek Ajera users form a tight-knit community with a yearning to learn how to better use the solution to reduce administrative burden, increase project profitability and significantly reduce billing time—all while improving client satisfaction. Maximizing their use of Ajera involves learning not only from the Deltek experts, but also from each other — sharing best practices, uncovering new ways of doing things and collaborating on new ideas.
There are two annual events that bring together Ajera users to learn, grow and network: Deltek Elevate and the Ajera Users Association Annual National Conference. Each event is designed to meet very specific needs of the Ajera community, as described in further detail below.
Deltek Elevate
Thousands of Deltek users – also known as Deltek Project Nation – join together at Deltek Elevate for three days of content, connection and customer appreciation. This conference provides Deltek Ajera users the opportunity to hear directly from our product teams, get insight into the latest roadmap and learn tips and tricks from their peers and industry experts.
Educational Sessions to Increase Product Knowledge
The number one reason people attend Deltek Elevate year after year is for the product sessions. There are two sub-tracks for Deltek Ajera users focused on your different roles to help you access the right content for your area of business: project management and financial management.
Deltek’s Commitment to Your Success
Beyond Ajera-specific content, you can learn how Deltek is committed to your overall business success with sessions focused on how Deltek can help invigorate and protect your business. The Customer Experience (CX) learning track covers topics of the Deltek Cloud, AI and automation innovations, product roadmaps, and resources for maximizing your Deltek investment(s).
Networking Opportunities
There are plenty of networking opportunities throughout the conference to answer questions, join user groups and share best practices for leveraging you Ajera solution. During Deltek Project Nation Braindates, attendees can participate in topic-driven one-on-one or small-group conversations to share experiences, exchange ideas and make meaningful connections. The XPO, meals and the customer appreciation event are also great opportunities to interact with other users.

Additional Learning Opportunities
But wait—there’s more!

Engage with our Customer Care and Consulting teams and participate in our UX Lab to provide feedback on upcoming new features. You can also submit and vote on product ideas through the Deltek Idea Portal, where thousands of user-submitted suggestions have already shaped recent Ajera Releases.
Ajera Users Association Conference
The Ajera Users Association (AUA) is a premier, independent user group for learning and supporting organizations using Deltek Ajera. The AUA – founded by users and for users – is dedicated to advancing the community’s proficiency so that users can best use the system for their company’s needs.
As an AUA member, users get access to the Annual National User Conference, which features hands-on training, user-to-user networking and presentations by Deltek experts and Ajera users who are in the trenches daily just like you.
Hands-On Learning Classes
The hands-on classes are taught in a lab setting where each attendee has access to a laptop that is pre-loaded with an Ajera sample database so that users can follow along with the instructor. Classes span across the gamut of experience levels that enhance and improve your Ajera experience, even if you have been using the solution for years.
Meet the Experts
In addition to the classes, there are Meet the Expert sessions, where you can schedule individual times to talk one on one about issues that you may be facing with Ajera power users and Deltek experts.
Networking Opportunities
To ensure that there are ample networking opportunities, the AUA hosts a welcome reception at the start of the conference, provides meals throughout the event and a mid-week dinner outing.
The affordable AUA membership provides access to not only the Annual National User Conference, but also user-to-user forums, members-only file sharing for inquiries and widgets, free members-only educational webinars and more.
