# acu-connect > acu-connect is an independent, non-profit community for the Acumatica Cloud ERP ecosystem. It connects value-added resellers (VARs), independent software vendors (ISVs), and end users through free membership, educational content, and events, with the mission of providing a network for Acumatica education, resources, and collaboration. acu-connect was founded by a group of Acumatica subject matter experts and is not an internal Acumatica program, though it works closely with the Acumatica ecosystem. Membership is free for VARs, ISVs, Acumatica customers, prospective customers, and Acumatica employees. The community publishes blog content and a podcast, hosts webinars and the annual acuCONNECT virtual conference, maintains a library of sponsor-contributed resources (datasheets, case studies, videos), and runs acuSNAPs, a library of short community-submitted videos. ## About - [About acu-connect](https://acu-connect.com/about/): Mission, founding story, and how acu-connect differs from Acumatica's own official community forums. - [Community Sponsors](https://acu-connect.com/acu-connect-sponsors/): Charter, Premium, and Supporting sponsors whose financial support funds the community. - [Affiliates](https://acu-connect.com/affiliates/): Partner organizations offering marketing, business services, and user-group/forum resources to VARs and ISVs in the Acumatica ecosystem. ## Events - [acuCONNECT 2026](https://acu-connect.com/acuconnect-2026/): Free, 2-day virtual conference for Acumatica Cloud ERP customers and partners, held September 24-25, 2026, featuring expert sessions and a virtual expo hall. - [Upcoming Events](https://acu-connect.com/events/): Calendar of upcoming webinars and community events. - [Past Events](https://acu-connect.com/past-events/): Archive of past webinars and community events. - [acuCONNECT 2025 Session Recordings](https://acu-connect.com/acuconnect-2025-session-recordings/): On-demand recordings from acuCONNECT 2025, the community's sixth annual virtual conference. ## Content - [Blog](https://acu-connect.com/blog/): Articles and podcast episodes covering Acumatica Cloud ERP news, best practices, and partner solutions. - [acuSNAPs](https://acu-connect.com/acusnaps/): Library of short (under 2 minute), community-submitted videos covering Acumatica tips, product spotlights, and member stories. - [Recorded Webinars](https://acu-connect.com/acu-connnect/recorded-webinars/): On-demand recordings of past acu-connect webinars. - [Acumatica Resources](https://acu-connect.com/acumatica-resources/): Datasheets, case studies, and videos contributed by acu-connect sponsors, covering solutions across accounts payable, BI/reporting, eCommerce, tax, and more. ## Membership - [Subscribe](https://acu-connect.com/subscribe/): Free registration for VARs, ISVs, Acumatica customers, prospective customers, and Acumatica employees. - [Committee Participation](https://acu-connect.com/committee-participation/): Volunteer opportunities on acu-connect's standing committees (Events & Education, Social Media, Technology, Outreach, Content). ## Optional - [Contact](https://acu-connect.com/contact/): General contact form and direct email for the acu-connect team. - [Suggestions](https://acu-connect.com/suggestions/): Feedback and feature-request form for community members.
