This is great. Love that so many folks are interested to meetup. For those new to the thread, @Michael Petersen has offered to host at his offices next week (10/9) to chat about timelines. If you plan to attend, please be sure to "https://one.workfront.com/s/question/0D50z00006Px3WcCAJ/" see his note here on how to RSVP. Sounds like there may even be enough interest to do another meetup in November or December downtown? @Elizabeth Volini , would you be interested to host? (Or if someone else offered, and I missed it, let me know!). Let's chat after the meetup next week to get an idea of possible dates and topics.

Is there a way to identify the local chairs and see if they're still active? If not, I'd be happy to help plan something myself. Katherine Stibley DMD Marketing Corp.

Hi guys! My name is Kristin Farwell and I've recently joined Workfront to lead Customer Marketing and Regional User Groups in the US. I am not sure who the local Chicago chairs are, but I can do some digging. And if anyone wants to volunteer to get more involved, let me know! We aren't planning any large Workfront managed user groups in the area until the Spring, but I can help support if you want to get together at one of your offices. I can help put together a registration page and send out invites to the local community to help with participation. Just need some local partners to help with the location, agenda, etc. Feel free to reply to this thread, or send me a private message if you'd like to chat! Kristin Farwell Workfront

Hey Kristin, When I was in Chicago for the Done Right event, doing some networking there is definitely interest in getting it up and running again. I'll shoot over the names of folks I chatted with. Also - the Minneapolis group is willing to host a Zoom/WebEx meeting so that those in Chicago can join the first part of our meeting in October, details have been posted for that. Thanks, Connie Connie Sutherland, CPPM CareerBuilder

Kristin The Discover team would like to host a get together. Specifically, we would like a summit of sorts centered on timelines. See examples of what others are doing, how many tasks, how many templates, best practices... Does this seem like something the group would be up for? Michael Petersen Discover Financial Services

Hi Michael, That's great! I think the best thing to do would be to throw out a few different dates and see if we can generate some interest on those dates and the topics you've mentioned. We can also send out a broader email to customers in that area, but lets lock down some basic details first. Do you have some dates in mind that you'd be able to host? Also, how many folks could you accommodate at your office? A medium to large conference room would be great, with the ability to project in case someone wants to share their screen. Let me know what you think and I'm happy to help you get it organized. Kristin Farwell Workfront

We have plenty of space on campus(Riverwoods, IL) so a room will not be a problem. Our only consideration for dates is 10-16 through 10-31, a key teammate will be on vacation. Open to any dates not in that timeframe. Michael Petersen Discover Financial Services

Hate to ask, but any space downtown Chicago? You'll get more attendees from us in the city. Or perhaps, is there a video conference room available? We could do a virtual Chicago user group? I could host a video conference room at Aon downtown or even just remote participation....

We do have an office in the city. If that works best for the most people I can look in to reserving some space there. Michael Petersen Discover Financial Services

Selfishly, we were excited to see someone in our neighborhood that wouldn't require taking half a day to travel downtown battling traffic. (We're in Rosemont.) Can we find someone with space in the city and rotate between? My company can host as well, but we're not huge. 15-20 is our largest conference room. Katherine Katherine Stibley DMD Marketing Corp.

Okay... How does either Oct 9 or Oct 10 sound to everyone? We can do this one in Riverwoods and the next one in the city. We do have conference rooms with cameras but I am not sure how good they are. Timelines is the focus. I was thinking I could get examples of the people have and display them so we can get a dialog going. Michael Petersen Discover Financial Services

I will personally be at Workfront HQ in Utah that week, so won't make that date. But, I'm sure some of my team members would be happy to participate remotely via webex or similar on Oct 9th or 10th.

Being in Northbrook I am also glad to go to Riverwoods. The 10th is better for me personally but I am flexible. Thank for offering to host!

Hi everyone, Is this something you are hoping to do during the day or in the evening? Just curious as I would guess many folks from the city probably won't travel to the suburbs at night.
