Networking

ISUG provides four types of networking opportunities that you can participate in: User Groups (local, regional and virtual), and Special Interest Groups.

Local groups are chapters that hold meetings in your locality and if you have a local group near you, you should join that group in order to network with other Sybase users nearby.

Regional groups are "catch all" groups for the four regions that ISUG supports: North America, South/Latin America, EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) and Asia-Pacific.  All members of local groups in a region are also automatically part of the regional group.

Virtual groups are groups that hold meetings online, and are almost always product specific, especially for products that serve specific market segments.

In additional to our user groups, ISUG also supports several Special Interest Groups (SIGs) which are online groups focused on specific products or topics. SIGs generally do not hold meetings and are instead a place to ask questions, look for help, share ideas, etc.

Joining a User Group

Most groups have instructions on how to join on their own page.

Check here to find your Local User Group.  If you don't find a local group you can join the regional group instead, or consider joining a Virtual User Group (VUG).

If you already know which user group you'll be joining, you can apply online right now.
