Are You Interested in Local Articulate User Groups?
Nov 24, 2014
Hey gang,
I'm looking to gauge level of interest in starting some local Articulate user groups; I mean interest in terms of attending, participating, and/or hosting these groups.
A user group is a gathering of people with a shared interest, in this case, Articulate software. These would be fun, casual, and informal get-togethers that allow people to network with other Articulate and e-learning professionals, learn new things, and share cool discoveries or projects they've created.
Let me know if you're interested in this idea and what city you'd like to see the user groups in by leaving a comment below.
Thanks!

I attended the one in St. Louis several times and it was extremely helpful and well organized. Now I am back in Atlanta, GA and I would love to see the same thing here.
Yay user groups! We love our St. Louis group... though I am probably biased. :)
Would love to participate and help organise such a group in Africa - specifically South Africa, where I reside.
Would also like to join a group that develops Physics and Maths learning resources using Storyline so that we can place more pressure on developers to include more than just +, - x and / when it comes to variable operations.
Would love a user group in NYC!
I'm one more for New York City!
Nicole, would they're be a special "place" in this community for local discussions or to host that groups special questions, presentations, etc?
Happy to host in Raleigh, NC.
Me too!
i am in africa but reside in nigeria. how can i get in d group
Hi Ryan!
No such discussion or thread currently existed for that (as far as I knew) so I started one here: Articluate User Groups: Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices. Feel free to jump into the convo! And thanks for the idea :)
Phoenix
I would love to join one in Milwaukee!
And I'd be willing to meet you half way in Tomah.
Milwaukee would be great!
Yes there are some problems (when using Arabic) that we can try to solve or submit them to Articulate support.
Yes I am interested and live in the Minneapolis / St Paul area.
Hi Nicole,
Is there any movement on this initiative or should people just start forming their own groups?
Cheers, Julie
Hey gang!!
Thanks for all the awesome responses! Many community members have shown interest in starting their own groups. It's so exciting to see so much excitement and interest in local user groups!
To help you guys get started, I've developed a high-level checklist for planning and setting up the first user group event. It's high-level because every person's approach will be slightly different -- there isn't one right or wrong way to execute a user group.
That being said, I strongly believe we can learn a lot from other people's experiences, mistakes and challenges with their own groups... to that end, before I finalize the checklist and publish it, I'd like to test it with real community members.
If you're interested in testing out this checklist and providing me with your feedback over the next several weeks, leave a comment below and let me know. I'll use the "Contact Me" feature on your profile to send you an email with the link to the checklist.
Thanks again everyone!
Hi Nicole, Thanks for the quick response. I can help test the checklist. Cheers, Julie
I'd be interested in hearing more about anything in the North of England or online.
Anything in Scotland? Online would be great too.
Hi Nicole. I'm interested in testing for you.
I'l be open to helping hosting one in the Seattle area.
Definitely interested in attending in the Boston, MA area!
Would also love a Boston group!
