Special Interest Groups (SIG)

Special Interest Groups ( abbreviated SIG ) allow member of the user group to focus on particular technologies in a more hands-on peer-to-peer environment. SIGs can meet the same night of our general user group meetings or have be on their own night - look at the calendar of events for specifics. We encourage everyone to be involved and take away as much as they can from SIGs of interest. And if you are interested in starting a new SIG - please just contact us!
