About Us

Meetings are the cornerstone of every user group. Our monthly meetings are free to attend for everyone. They provide education on a variety of technology related topics and networking opportunities with area professionals. Along with the free food and beverages provided you can participate in an open Q&A session we have to help with current issues and educate the group. Of course you can just sit back and listen to gain knowledge but there is greater potential for learning with involvement. We encourage you to attend a meeting and hopefully the value you receive will keep you coming back.

Membership with the WMNTUG allows you to participate in our monthly meeting door prize drawings, receive free offerings given to our group by Microsoft or local companies and you are able to attend our annual outing in August for free! Our Annual outing is a night of food and fun at Craig's Cruisers in August!

  • Meetings are every 3rd Wednesday of the month
  • We have 10 regular meetings
  • In August we have an outing.The outing is just for fun
  • We take every December off for the Holidays.
