As I emailed last week, Registration is open for the 2013 North Central Google Apps User Group Meeting. In order to get an accurate count for the meeting, I must ask that everyone register before March 7th. While you can still register after that, I will only be able to provide lunch for people who are registered before that date.
It will be held at the Richard J. Daley Library on the UIC campus. Its address is 801 South Morgan, Chicago, Illinois 60607. The meeting will be held on the first floor, in room LIB 1-470. Registration will open at 8:30am and we plan on starting the meeting at 9pm.

Agenda:
After going over the requests from attendees, I have started to arrange the agenda to maximize discussion and open dialogue. Many people requested that they wanted to better understand how other companies and organizations use Google Apps in their business. This will lend itself to a more open format for discussion with opportunities for breakouts and Birds of a Feather sessions. We will have a couple of specific speakers, but I think that we will all get the most out of the meeting from connecting with others and working on shared issues. Given this structure, I need to get some of the times defined. One of them will be a roadmap presentation from Google. I need to connect with each of the presenters to get their times nailed down, but it was important that everyone get an idea of what the meeting format will be and what they will gain by attending.
RegistrationPlease fill out the
online registration form to register for this full day, FREE event. If more than one person will be attending from you organization, then I ask that each person register individually to ensure we have an accurate count. It is a day filled with education, networking, and FUN! The meeting in an opportunity for various Google Apps customers and admins to discuss the innovative ways they use the Google Apps products, as well as connect with other admins to help resolve issues that may be affecting your user community. You may share this email and the registration with anyone in your company who may want to attend.
Please consider presenting at this meeting. There will be a number of different types of sessions to accommodate different topics. Do not feel that you must present for an hour for the information to be valuable. If you are doing something interesting, or using a tool that you find valuable, then it is likely that someone in the group will find it interesting. If the group does not gain value from these meetings, then there is no reason to have them. Most of the value is based on the information and experiences that the group can share. Please suggest the ideas you want to present and we will match your request with the correct structure.
