Adobe Enterprise Regional User Group - The Day After
OK, well maybe not exactly the day after, but since I was off Friday and then the weekend came and went, we'll call it the next "business day" after. As you may or may not have known, the first Adobe Enterprise Regional User Group meeting was held last Thursday in Chicago. A huge thank you to the Chicago office, especially Holly and Katy, because the event was a huge success. 35 people gathered at the Doubletree hotel and got the inside scoop on Adobe's future plans for LiveCycle 8, info about Adobe support and pro services, first hand impressions of LiveCycle from Praveen Motoru, from CNA Insurance, and a presentation about the Adobe Enterprise Developer Program, by yours truly.
After the "meeting", we all went up to the Adobe office for drinks and food. And really, to be honest, that's when the real meeting started. Great conversation, interesting people, interesting problems. It was a real pleasure to see customers getting answers to their problems while talking to Adobe employees. And, I think if we have to do it next time, that we should try and maximize that time. At the very least, as I said in my presentation, hopefully next time it will be 4 presentations by customers and maybe 1 from Adobe, rather than the other way around.
For the first meeting though, this was a great start. I think most agreed it was a long time coming, and you can bet we'll be working hard to get the next one up and running in the first few months of 2006, along with meetings in other cities throughout the world. (If you want to host one, I want to help you out... I've got money to help with food, drinks and prizes, and can help with speakers etc... Just contact me at dev_info@adobe.com if you're interested in getting together with other users in your area!)
To all the attendees: It was a pleasure meeting you, and hopefully you found the information useful. If you have any comments about the event, please post them to this blog.
This is also a good time to continue to plug the Adobe Developer Days roadshow that is happening in November. 8 cities in 8 days, focusing on Acrobat and LiveCycle. Check out the developer events page for more information.
