Agenda:

6:00 - Welcome and networking

Hello again everyone

We had the inaugural Las Vegas User Group meeting on Feb. 4th and it was a great success. We had the opportunity to discuss not only the future of the group but also Spring '09 and worked through some issues that fellow group members were experiencing.

We're planning the next meeting for March 5th @ 6PM. We're going to do some member-led training sessions, as well as have time for networking and an open forum.

While the agenda is being finalized, now would be a great time to join the Group. You not only get to network with other Salesforce.com users and administrators, but the sooner you join the sooner you can influence the topics and the direction of the meetings. Just fill out the form to left.

Thanks

Jason

Looks like we're all set for February 4, 2009 @ 6PM for the first Salesforce.com Las Vegas Users Group Meeting - that's this Wednesday. If you have not joined the group yet, please sign up using the form on the left.

The agenda will be loose for this first meeting, focusing on what we want out of these meetings and how we want to structure them. After that I'm hoping for some time to discuss individual problems we've been having, Best Practices, and our expectations for Spring 09 coming this month. Following this meeting we'll have a more structured agenda and (hopefully) some guest speakers.

We've still got a small group, so we'll hold this first one at my office. As we grow we'll need a new spot so please keep your eyes open for one.

My office is located at 1421 E. Sunset Rd, Ste 4. It's across the street from the small parking lot on Sunset where you can watch the planes land. The sign on the corner of the building says Travelocity On Location. I've included a Google Maps link below.

Light refreshments will be provided. 

Please come ready to plot the course for future meetings, discuss problems you're having or Best Practices, and network with other Salesforce.com Users

Thanks

Jason Carlson
