If only someone knew how to...
We've all been there before, that one nagging issue that is continually a thorn in our side. What better way to alleviate our real world pain points than to discuss them together with people who are waging the same battles or have been there before?

Sure, the presentations and new product offerings are interesting and informative, but the strength of any user group is the opportunities for networking and learning from each other.

This section of the meeting is meant to be an open forum for attendees to find answers from each other. We will start by having a general discussion involving everyone. Next we will break up into a handful of smaller, focus groups centered on topics that you want to discuss. Finally, we'll reconvene together to give a brief overview on what each
group discussed.
