Question

Adobe User Groups - are they still a thing?

Do Adobe product-oriented User Groups in various localities around the world still exist?

On a whim, I decided to look them up, only for the Adobe site to show the worldwide directory of User Groups for no more than a split second before diverting my web browser to the Adobe home page. Does this mean Adobe has shut them down?

Just wondering.

I've just used the User Group Directory page. Apparently there are no user groups of any type whatsoever in London, UK. I know we're just a provincial city in northern Europe but I would have expected at least one UG.

I think we can use connect for User Groups regularly to share our thought and ideas. What you think?

      Aloha,

      Is there a page to go to for User Group managers to connect with each other for questions? I know there is the Adobe Communities, and the events calendar, and the lounge. Where is the forum for the Adobe User Group Program?

      Okay, I know that this is the wrong place for this, but I did a search for "User Groups" and I was only shown "Community Events" Is there no longer a forum for Adobe User Groups?

      I am looking for advice on if I should change the name of my User Group from the Hawaii Flash User Group to something like Hawaii Animate, or something else to reflect the new Animate name. Yes, this should have been done awhile ago!

      We have talks on AS3, Flex, Flash, Animation, Starling, and of course the new Animate CC.

      Also, I am thinking about planning a new Adobe Camp to celebrate Adobe Animate CC 2017!

      Thank You,

      Johnny

      And if you go to the welcome page on Adobe Forums and scrolll down or look under More Resources on any of the key product forum pages, you will find the current WW User Group Directory link under Find a User Group.

      Hi Trica,

      Can I ask why there is no mention of the Hawaii Flash User Group in the page:

        Where are you / your group location / group name?

        Unfortunately, the worldwide (groups.adobe.com) directory page is no longer active.

        Adobe User Groups are alive and well. 

        Some of the links online have been consolidated to give communities a more unified resource.  User group managers are actively trying to put events into the Community Events pages.  The conversion will take a little time, but it can be an active reminder for everyone. Note: Groups without notable user/community support have been rotated out of an official list for now.
