For a map go here: http://university.fionnmaccools.com/contact. There will be free food and snacks – but you will be responsible for your own bar tab

This is a free event, open to anyone interested in meeting other SFDC users, partners, admins, and developers.  

Agenda:
6:00: Networking
6:30: Introductions and a speech – presenter TBD (update to follow)
7:00: Birds-of-a-feather groups round one
8:00: Birds-of-a-feather groups round two
9:00: Networking session

Format for the Birds-of-a-feather:
This meeting will be an informal meet up. If you have a problem, a question, or simply want to learn more about a feature please write it down and bring it to the meeting. When we break into Birds-of-a-feather style tables, these questions will guide the topics of discussion.

This means the content of the first session will be entirely driven by you, the customers!
We look forward to seeing you there

Sal Troiano

My name is Andrew Sinclair and I want to introduce myself and Sal Troiano as the co-chairs of the official Salesforce.com Toronto user group.

The Toronto user group will let you meet other Salesforce users and administrators within the GTA to network, share best practices, and learn from industry leaders. We have arranged to hold our first meeting on April 14th at 5:30 at the Sheraton Centre immediately after Cloudforce (Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, 123 Queen Street West).

Our first meeting will focus on the group's charter and the schedule of events (we are looking to have meetings every 4-6 weeks).  We'll also get feedback on topics for future meetings.  These meetings are free and we urge anyone who’s interested to attend.

In the meantime, you can register for Cloudforce today, and we look forward to seeing you there. Click here for more details on Cloudforce.

Regards,

Andrew Sinclair - @a_sinclair

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.
