Indiana RUG June 7th Meeting Agenda

Okay...the invitation finally went out for our June 7th meeting...to make a long story short we had a rough time getting the event set up and the invites sent out. We are only half way there, however, we now need to get everyone registered. Below I am adding the email text and the agenda that we have planned. Hope to see everyone there.

Welcome to the first Indiana PeopleSoft JD Edwards RUG meeting being planned with the help of our new online registration system. Sorry for the delay in our invitations...we have been working hard with Quest, and Socious on the backend, to make sure we can continue online registrations now that our support for CVENT has ended. We have made every attempt to make sure all of our members that were registered in CVENT are now registered for Quest but you will need to login in order to register for our event.

Our agenda looks great and it should prove to be much warmer than our February meeting. Come join us and share your knowledge or build some new resources. Below are the links you will need to view the agenda and register, establish a free Web Subscription with Quest (if you or your company is not already a Quest Paid Member) or to contact someone if you need help with your user id and password.
