ParishSOFT’s Roadshows
ParishSOFT Roadshows are an opportunity for an arch/diocese and its parishes to attend regional workshops presented by ParishSOFT experts and to network with other ParishSOFT users in your arch/diocese. The information presented is designed to equip your users with tools to increase their effectiveness in leveraging the ParishSOFT solutions in their day-to-day ministry to save them both time and money.
It is also a great opportunity to explore additional features or products you may not be using that could enhance your ministry.
We have two ways for you to host a Roadshow, in person which is by far the most immersive experience and allows attendees to to not be distracted with what is happening in the parish office. Or a virtual event, that gives all your attendees the opportunity to attend the desired workshop live or review any workshop with 60 days access after the event to all recordings.
If you are interested in learning more or hosting a Virtual or in person Roadshow, please contact us at roadshows@parishsoft.com.
Below are some frequently asked questions about our roadshows we hope you find helpful. If you have any specific questions and would like to contact us, Please email: roadshows@parishsoft.com.

How long does a roadshow event last?
Most roadshows will be one day in length, starting around 9:00 a.m. with registration and ending at approximately 3:00 p.m. However, depending on the needs of your arch/diocese and parishes, you may need more than one day or a modified daily schedule. Contact us to discuss what you envision for your arch/diocese and parishes.
Will the Roadshow take place entirely online?
Yes, but only if the Diocese chooses a virtual event instead of an in-person Roadshow. If your event is in-person, usually the location of your Roadshow is one of the first items discussed when you speak to a member of the ParishSOFT planning team. However, due to each Virtual Roadshow being held exclusively online your parishes can attend from any location. Contact us to discuss how to best create a Virtual Roadshow for your arch/diocese.
What is the cost for our users to attend?
The Registration fee for attendees is:
- Virtual- $40 per attendee per day
- Onsite- $60 per attendee per day
The arch/diocese may choose to cover some or all of this cost for the attendees or have the parishes pay the fee during the registration process.
What is the cost to the arch/diocese for hosting a Roadshow?
The cost to host an in-person Roadshow for the arch/diocese will include a $2000 event setup fee. This fee includes two experienced presenters and an event information and registration site. If your desired agenda requires additional presenters, each additional presenter will be an additional $500. $250 of the event setup fee is non-refundable and due upon booking. The remaining fees are due 30 days prior to your event. There are other costs to consider when deciding if hosting an event is feasible for your arch/diocese.

Workshops
With our one-day or multi-day workshops, we bring the training to you. And we can customize all the training curriculum for your parish and arch/diocese’s needs.
We offer two workshops classifications: Beginner and Intermediate.
Our beginner level workshops are designed to share fundamental information about our products or common workflows that will help users be effective in leveraging ParishSOFT tools. While much of the information presented may be review for long-time ParishSOFT users, experienced users may learn new tips since we are regularly updating software functionality.
Our intermediate workshops are designed to present products, features and concepts that will help you go beyond the basic use of your ParishSOFT systems. While this tends to be information geared towards more experienced users that isn’t always the case, so don’t let the intermediate label scare you away from attending. Some features are deemed intermediate or more advanced because they are things users are generally not ready for until they have mastered the basic tasks they need to accomplish in the program. The items we present in these workshops are intended to help you move to the next level of use so that you can further support your ministry and organizational growth through your use of ParishSOFT.
Our staff will bring the training to you, for either one day or several days. Plus, all of the details and training curriculum can be customized to meet the unique needs of both your arch/diocese and your parishes.
We have created a list of workshops that we currently plan to make available for our roadshows. You can download the list here.
