Accelerate 2026

Accelerate 2026 was held at New Orleans Marriott (Canal Street) in New Orleans, LA.

Accela identified customers involved in government operations and industry leaders as the audience.

It is most useful for government agency staff who already run Accela products, since the program was scheduled to pair a product roadmap session and CEO keynote with over 80 concurrent sessions, AccelaU training, hands-on workshops and Customer Advisory Board meetings. Staff at agencies that use other permitting or licensing platforms, and buyers wanting vendor-neutral comparison, would get less from a user conference run by a single software company.

Attendees at vendor user conferences for government technology usually wear business casual, with polos, slacks and blouses the norm. New Orleans in early October is warm and humid, so breathable fabrics are practical, and the evening music event was typically casual too.
