Welcome to the Chicago Users Group!
It's been a number of years but the Chicago Users Group is back! We're excited to meet with customers and have opportunity to see some of the best pinball machines out there at the Stern Pinball factory! After the event we would greatly appreciate your feedback. We will be working on how often to have these events and try to mix them up between the suburbs and downtown area. The Chicago-land Pure teams and our extended Field Solution Architects teams are looking forward to meeting up with everyone!Chicago Pure User Group Fall 2025
