*NEW* SNUG Meetup Program! - ServiceNow User Group - US - MO - Kansas City

[#1]

Hello SNUG Members and Happy New Year!

I am very excited to announce the creation of a NEW SNUG PROGRAM called SNUG Meetups!

SNUG Meetups are smaller, SNUG member-driven, local events primarily focused on specific discussion areas. Any non-partner ServiceNow customer can start their own SNUG Meetup.

SNUG Meetups should meet at least twice a year either virtually or in-person. These are not intended to replace our traditional SNUGs, but to empower ServiceNow customers to meet more frequently around topics with common interests and to facilitate additional opportunities to network and collaborate. We encourage all SNUG members to continue the conversation and collaboration by posting or responding to questions or blogs and actively participate in ongoing discussions on the online SNUG community.

ServiceNow SNUG Meetups make it possible for customers to stay connected with other local customers and technology experts to discuss innovations, challenges, and solutions.

Benefits of SNUG Meetups:
• Peer to peer collaboration with ServiceNow customers
• Maximize the return on your investment in ServiceNow through knowledge transfer across diverse organizations and industries highlighting ServiceNow use cases and best practices
• Strengthen business opportunities by increasing skills and knowledge, and by exchanging ideas with other ServiceNow customers
• Connect with and learn from peers while developing professional relationships
• Ability to invite colleagues from across lines of business to expand the footprint of ServiceNow solutions to get the most out of your company’s investment
• Leverage the community forum to discuss ideas, industry trends, challenges, and observations
• Opportunity to share your company success story by presenting at or hosting a Meetup

How to create a SNUG Meetup
Creating a ServiceNow Meetup is easy. Any current ServiceNow customer can submit a request to create a SNUG Meetup (Partners are not eligible). To request a new SNUG Meetup:

•   Send an email to SNUGS@servicenow.com and include:
•   Your name and title
•   Company name and location
•   Your ServiceNow background and link to your community profile
•   Proposed Meetup name (example: Fayetteville SNUG Meetup)
•   First (tentative) Meetup date

Once your request is received, you will receive a reply with regards to the status. We are allowing only a select number of requests for new SNUG Meetups each quarter.
