This week's MUG Event Calendar spans the globe with some big names and
some big presentations.
Apple will be represented at three different group meetings this week.
Dave Marra will be at a group in Pennsylvania, Michael Wolk will present
Leopard to a New Jersey Group, and Apple representatives will show off
the Apple TV at a very special meeting in Saudi Arabia.
Adobe is announcing their new Creative Suite 3 via webcast on Tuesday,
something many MUG members and leaders have been waiting for, and then
will demonstrate the latest updates to their Creative Studio bundle to a
group in California.
Doug Troxell of Intriguing Development will bring iRemember to two
different groups in Florida, while around the world, a group in
Australia will be discussing podcasting, a group in the United Kingtom
will have a "Gadgets and Mac Car Boot Sale" and a group in Belgium will
deliver tips on creating better printed documents. (more)
2 - Adobe Webcast to Launch Creative Suite Scheduled for Tuesday
<http://www.mugcenter.com/adobe-webcast-to-launch-creative-suite-
scheduled-for-tuesday/>
Is there a user group anywhere who's members and leaders don't use Adobe
products? If so, let us know. Otherwise, be sure to remind your group's
members to pay special attention on Tuesday, March 27 when Adobe will
launch the newest edition of their Creative Suite, v3. Better yet, you
can actually see the launch thanks to a webcast set for 3:30 PM ET,
12:30 PM PT. (more)
3 - More User Group Appearance Dates from Apple's Dave Marra
<http://www.mugcenter.com/more-user-group-appearance-dates-from-apples-
dave-marra/>
He's just getting warmed up, folks. Apple Senior Systems Engineer Dave
Marra has provided us with even more new user group appearance dates.
Dave's MUG meeting calendar for the coming weeks looks like this,
including the indicated new dates: (more)
4 - Adobe Scheduled to Present to Final Cut Pro User Group
<http://www.mugcenter.com/adobe-scheduled-to-present-to-final-cut-pro-
user-group/>
Having one or more vendors on the agenda is nothing special for the Los
Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group (LAFCPUG). They regularly feature some
of the top hardware and software manufacturers and publishers in the
video industry, along with notable filmmakers, editors and many more.
But at their March meeting they will host a guest you might not expect: Adobe.
To quote the LAFCPUG web site, "Huh?" (more)
5 - Apple, Tropical Software, MacSpeech, Quark and Prosoft Engineering
Lead Top User Group Presenters Awards
<http://www.mugcenter.com/apple-tropical-software-macspeech-quark-and-
prosoft-engineering-lead-top-user-group-presenters-awards/>
More and more vendors are discovering and re-discovering the power of
connecting with Mac User Groups, either through creating specific
programs for Mac User Groups, creating special offers for Mac User Group
members or the obvious: personal appearances and presentations at Mac
User Group meetings. The latter is the front line of MUG/Vendor
interaction and the best way for both sides to benefit from the relationship.
The MUG Event Calendar documents as many of these meetings, along with
other activities and presentations, and is the basis for our Top User
Group Presenters Awards. This is our second annual roll-up of the people
and companies who showed up at Mac User Groups around the world most
often, demonstrating products or just having fun being there. (more)
