Hello all,

We have just begun to very preliminarily plan this year’s SWAN User Group Conference, which will be held on Friday, August 17^th at Moraine Valley Business Center (same place as last year). I would love to enlist a few interested folks from the membership to help with planning the event this year via a Planning Committee. The intentions for this group will be to solicit feedback and pick your brains to help us plan this year’s event theme and topics, speakers and sessions that you’d like to see, potential sponsors for the event, and other ideas that you might have for us.   

Since we all have a lot on our plate right now with the upcoming migration, my plan will be to make this group as non-invasive as possible in terms of being a drain on your time. We will plan one, possibly two in-person meetings (likely at SWAN HQ in Westmont) but otherwise hold our communication all online and via email. I anticipate getting our conversations going in late March/early April depending upon availability.

If you are interested in being on the Planning Committee, please email me to let me know. Thank you for helping us to make this year’s event better than ever!
