Missing the fellowship of the SNUG

[Phil Scherry]

The ServiceNow community has always been one of my favorite parts of the ecosystem.

With fewer opportunities to gather informally, I'm curious: How many of you would like to reconnect with other ServiceNow professionals in the area?

Rather than waiting for ServiceNow, partners, or sponsors to organize events, what if we created a community-led meetup ourselves?

My vision would be simple:

✅ Meet peers in the local ServiceNow ecosystem
✅ Share real-world lessons learned
✅ Discuss challenges and solutions
✅ Build professional relationships
✅ Keep it informal and vendor-neutral

Would you attend? What format, cadence, and location would work best?

Let's see if we can make this happen. 👇

Hello Phil, just seeing this post and I agree!  If you want to meet outside of ServiceNow SNUG sessions I would highly recommend more of the group get involved with your local HDI chapter.  They are very much vendor neutral and they have the not for profit status as well.  There is a Rocky Mountain Chapter.  I am President of Phoenix and we are running into the same issues here.

I put together a survey for people to give their opinions on time and location https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoGOMSuHsPRtpYriJG_WmfwwaWNAS8O7ENii1WyplDbBUezg/viewform?...

Hello everyone, it seems I can't sent out a message to more than 50 of you at a time, so I will post it here and create an event to link to the new ServiceNow SNUG site. The group is moving form the existing meetup site to a Servicenow hosted site.

https://www.servicenow.com/community/usergroups/denver-snug/
Please follow the link and use your existing servicenow login.

I haven't had the time lately to run this group, so a new set of people will have to step up. Tim Merkel has offered to pick up the work and help revive the group, but I recommend anyone who is interested reach out, The meetup group will end on the 21st, please reach out if you have any questions.
