Launched in 2008, the series of free partner events offers business-improvement consulting, hands-on training and partner-led discussions to provide additional advantages in an increasingly competitive IT marketplace.  ConnectWise User Group Meetings are held in the first through third quarters as a supplement to the company's annual IT Nation event.

Hundreds of partners attend each event, which is hosted by a ConnectWise guru presenting educational updates on the company's business automation software with the remainder of the full-day meeting lead by partner facilitators who lead discussions on attendee-decided topics.  A networking dinner is held the night before each event as a way for ConnectWise partners to connect in a casual setting. Typically ConnectWise User Groups touch over a thousand partners each quarter.

User group meetings scheduled for Q1 of 2012 include:

• January 18: Southeast – Tampa, Fla.
• January 20: South Central – Houston, Texas
• January 24: North Central – Chicago
• January 27: Northwest – Seattle
• February 7: Mid-Atlantic – Washington D.C.
• February 9: Canada – Toronto
• February 10: Australia – Sydney
• February 16: Northeast – Newark, NJ
• February 22: Southwest – Newport Beach, Calif.
• February 29: United Kingdom - London

"Our annual IT Nation event finds thousands of ConnectWise partners making their way to Orlando in what has quickly become one of the largest and best-attended IT events of the year," said Jeannine Edwards, Director, ConnectWise Community. "But throughout the rest of the year, we take our show on the road and visit close to our partners' homes for a full day of collaboration, networking and education.  By expanding the reach of these global events with the addition of a Mid-Atlantic user group meeting, we are providing additional opportunities for our partners to meet up with us – and each other – in order to connect, collaborate and grow."
