API: Application Programming Interface. A vague phrase that offers little insight if you’re not a computer science major, yet if you’ve spent any time around system vendors or website developers they’ve likely thrown the acronym around as if its taught in the third grade of every classroom in America. Fear not, we’ve created a Prezi (a free, online presentation tool) to help illustrate what API does and why it matters to your association members, staff and you!

Please note that Prezi is Flash based and therefore may require you to install flash or download the Prezi app on your mobile device.

Still have questions? Feel free to email us at or leave a comment below. Want to customize the presentation for your staff? You’re welcome to visit Prezi.com, create a free account and then copy the presentation to customize for your audience. For more posts like this make sure to enter your email!
