If you missed the live webinar on 28 May 2025 called "IBM User Groups: an opportunity for professional development, technical community building, and product influence", you can watch the replay now! Visit the Library to access the recording and slides
We had a great call with special guests @Richard Barber and @Steven Wolk - both User Group Leaders and IBM Champions - who talked about their user groups, their history, best practices, and some of the challenges about running a user group. In addition our IBM User Group team, @Peter Nightingale, @Morgan McKeen, and @Ben Castle joined to talk about all the resources available to those who want to find their user group or start a user group.
Also keep in mind, if you are an aspiring IBM Champion and you've either started, volunteered, managed (or co-managed), or have done other administrative work in an IBM user group, you can start on the pathway through the IBM Rising Champions program. You can apply and start earning badges today and get yourself ready for a future IBM Champion nomination.
Stay tuned for announcements about our next IBM Advocacy Call!
