The Toronto Salesforce User Group is all about meeting other Salesforce users and admins within the GTA for the purpose of networking, sharing best practices, and experiencing success with our favourite business application!

Our kick-off meeting has been set for Wednesday February 27, 2008 from 6:30pm - 8:30pm.  We will be meeting at Salesforce headquarters in Downtown Toronto (WaterPark Place @ 10 Bay Street, Suite 400).  Please note the slight change in meeting location as we're now set up in the opposite building and on a different floor.  A number of us will be gathering in front of the Second Cup located near the bottom of the escalators from 6:00 - 6:30pm - we will then proceed to the meeting location together.  If you arrive past 6:30, please inform security and they will escort you to the 4th floor.

We hope you can join us for our inaugural meeting!  Light refreshments will be served.

Plans are underway to re-launch the Toronto User Group.  We have two local customers who have volunteered to lead the effort - Bruno Rosati of Clarity Systems and Rob Baldassare of Century Vallen will be your co-leaders. They plan to hold a meeting at the salesforce.com office in February '08.  Look for more information and an official announcement at the City Tour event on December 11, 2007.

We hope you will get involved!

The next Toronto Users Group Meeting will take place on September 13, 2005 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
