Chatting About Salesforce User Groups at Dreamforce

It looks like Salesforce is taking its "It's Social" slogan to heart with a renewed effort to support Salesforce and Force.com user groups around the world. For example, current user group leaders can now belong to an invitation only meetup group that is designed to foster discovery of best practices and help us grow our local communities. I think that being more proactive in providing assistance to local user groups like PhillyForce is a great move by Salesforce, and would be a huge help for us in the trenches!
 
During Dreamforce next month there will be a couple of session that will discuss salesforce.com user groups. I am going to present one of these sessions, and will talk about reasons why I chose to be involved and what user group leaders do on a regular basis.
 
So, if you are interested in becoming more involved in your local Salesforce community, or thinking of starting a user group in your home town, join me for an informal session on the last day of Dreamforce. I look forward to see you there!
 
Here is the official Dreamforce session info:
