With increasing workloads and demands on our time, the cost of attending an event and taking a day out of the office can be a big challenge. As fellow end users, the team at Technology.UG totally understand the challenges you face at work. However, we believe there is a huge amount of value in joining our community and attending our events which will help both you and your organisations. Here are our top reasons why you should attend at least one user group event every year:

Experience an open forum for the local IT community to come together & share ideas
Come along to network, consolidating your skills and knowledge base within the group
Develop an understanding of use cases and the architecture behind new solutions.
Hear content which has been selected for its educational value by fellow end users and customers
Enjoy the quiet labs room, available for all delegates to access study materials or catch up with work, without the constant distractions of the office.
Benefit from our independence which enables our events to provide impartial guidance based on the groups wisdom
De-risk your new technology investments and upgrades by utilising the community.
Events are free to attend, with complementary Internet access, refreshments throughout the day and buffet lunch.
Come and “Geek out at the bar” at the end of the day and enjoy a few post event drinks with old and new friends.

Technology.UG - Glasgow IT Pro User Group Community

Silly season is upon us and everyone seems to be away on holiday or as good as. However life goes on and the ‘wack o mole’ game of solving problems with IT services goes on.

So it is my pleasure to anounce that your Glasgow branch is under new management and a committee of local IT Professionals has been formed. They are all employed by companies with offices in Glasgow area and work in various roles delivering IT to business.

A big thank you to all of them for volunteering to help lead the Glasgow IT community - http://www.technologyug.co.uk/Communities/Glasgow


The agenda for the next meeting is still being developed by the new committee but we have some confirmed speakers.

• Jason Mears, Senior Consultant with VMware Professional Services division will explore current best practice for virtualised environments and highlight key vSphere features which you may not have implemented.

• A Hyper-V administrator will describe his current production environment and the challenges they face with Microsoft's virtualisation platform. Will Windows server 10 convince you to change platform?

• Brendon Higgins, “There is no cloud just other people's computers” but if you are prepared to consider new ways of working, you can save loads of money and deliver new services very quickly. How I am looking to deploy what I learnt at Technology UG events into the multinational which pays my mortgage.

• Windows 2003 migration methods, tools & best practice – Admit it, you should have finished this last month…

• Case study – Data protection and business continuity that saved the day and my job.

Come along for a chance to win some exciting prizes, meet local like-minded peers and learn from those already realising the benefits of virtualisation.
