Hi Emma, Thanks for bringing this up! I am currently looking at scheduling the next Atlanta event for either the first half of April before leap, or late May after Leap with an agenda around "What were your top takeaways from Leap?" Does anyone here have a preference? Do we have any volunteers to host? Let me know, thanks! Alison Milbury Workfront Community Manager

Hey Alison, Selfishly I'd love to have it in April. I'm not sure of my availability in May, and I've been wanting to meet with the Atlanta group for awhile . We are located in Nashville so it would be a trip for us. Thanks! Emma Holland STR

I'm good for either April or May. We are in Alpharetta which is north of the city, so not sure how many people would want to travel up this way. Thank you, Elliot Elliot Leson Synchrony Creative - The Studio (Company)

I am good with either, but April is a busy time on my end, May would be better after Leap. Christine Fecik Creative Traffic Manager Workfront System Admin Elekta

I'm also good with either. I will be attending Leap though so I'd love to connect with fellow Atlanta users either at the event or after. Aya Elsoukkary Floor & Decor

I would love to do this after LEAP. I think it would be very helpful to discuss some of the topics from the conference. I can check with my leadership and see if we can host it again. We are near Suntrust Park. Michelle Ray Home Decorators Collection - The Home Depot

Hey Vanessa, I would also love a winter meet up. We're in Nashville, but definitely willing to travel. We have also not been involved in a meet up yet, so would really love to connect. Who usually schedules these? Happy to help. Emma Holland STR

Alison - can you help coordinate something for this winter for a meet up? We're in Nashville so if people are willing to travel I'm sure we could host? Emma Holland STR

Hey Everyone, I am fairly new to Workfront still but I live in Alabama and would love to meetup and learn from other WF users and orgs. I'm about an hour and half drive to Atlanta so that location works well for me. Erica Foisy Integrate

Hi everyone, We are interested in a Winter 2019 meet up. I know this thread started in Dec. 2018/Feb. 2019 but we would be happy to host an event for this winter (Nov/Dec/Jan 2020). We are located near Sun Trust Park baseball stadium. Not sure what we need to do to get one coordinated. Amber Dallapiazza The Home Depot

Hi everyone! My name is Kristin Farwell and I manage user groups here at Workfront. You guys are on your way to getting this Winter 2019 meetup organized, but I wanted to jump in and a) say hello! and b) let you know I'm here if you need any help getting this organized. Really the only things that you need to get this coordinated are... Location - Done! It sounds like @Amber Dallapiazza is willing to host? (Amber, how many folks can your location support? This will help us understand if we should keep it small to the folks here on this thread, or if you want me to send out an invite to the broader Atlanta community via email. Feel free to message me directly if you want to chat.) Date - We might want to throw out a few options in Nov / Dec / Jan to see what works best for most people (there is never a perfect date, but we can try to organize these meetups more regularly for folks who may not be able to attend this one. Amber, what are some dates that you would be open to hosting? Topics of Discussion - Any particular topics you guys want to discuss? This is your user group, so you can keep this as formal or informal as you like, but if there are common topics that can help guide this discussion. A good example is the Chicago user group had a session just focused on timelines a few weeks ago, and in Minneapolis last week the group talked about resource planning, reporting and onboarding new users. That should be enough to get us started. Looking forward to getting this organized and on the calendar! Kristin Farwell Sr. Manager, Customer Advocacy Programs Workfront

Hi Amber. We have 2 from the Synchrony team interested too, we'd be coming over from the Alpharetta office. Please include me in the invite once you ID some date options that work for you. We have just under 2 years experience with the platform serves ~800 users. We can share some of our own stories/best practices and ready to learn more from others about your configuration, approach to user experience/adoption.

Thanks @Amber Dallapiazza for offering to host! Please add us to the invite list. We'll be happy to make the trip from Nashville. Thanks @Kristin Farwell for chiming in! I would love to talk about resource planning, reporting, internal Workfront training sessions and maybe onboarding new users. Does Anyone else have topics they want to discuss? Emma Holland STR

Hey all, I'm so excited to see so many people are interested! I am working with Kristen to work out some of the details and then we'll let y'all know. I think we'll be fine to host a fairly large group. @Elliot Leson we'd love you see you and the Synchrony team. We enjoyed meeting you all at Leap last year and I know we wanted to have a get together. @Emma Holland those are some great topics that I know we're interested in as well! Please feel free to keep tossing out discussion topics! Thanks! Amber Dallapiazza The Home Depot

I love Emma's agenda topics. I am especially interested in training for new users and maintenance for current users. Do we have any potential dates yet? Would love to block my calendar if possible.

Very excited about this meetup as a very new admin and WF user. I would love to learn how others are utilizing WF and the departments that are using WF within your company. Onboarding new users, implementation do's and don'ts, how to keep everyone excited about using WF, reporting, and using WF to plan for headcount/when to hire are top of mind for me.
