MWLUG 2014 - What we bring and what we are

Each year we create a new theme for MWLUG and is always a challenge. But this year it was easy.  I took a hard look of what is a LUG and what do we do.  It is not just about the collaboration technology that we are so fond of, it is all about us.  We get together to learn from each other, build relationships and friendships, and give back to our community.  We connect with each other, regardless of whether we are IBM customers, IBM Business Partners, or IBMers. So the theme for MWLUG 2014 is: "Connecting the Human Community" The MWLUG 2014 web site is now up and running. http://mwlug.com If you are interested in sponsorship please contact me.  Unfortunately, the main room that was assigned to MWLUG had the wrong square footage and I have been working with the hotel to figure out a new layout and location within the hotel. Still waiting for a response from the hotel in the new layout for the exhibitor showcase. I will be sending out the sponsorship package soon.
