Pure User Group - July 2026
Hit the Links... Cincinnati PUG Style What’s up Cincinnati Pure Community? I hope you all are doing well, preparing for the approaching holiday weekend, and making those summer vacation plans. Speaking of, if you are making those summer vacation plans, make sure to avoid the week of June 29th. Why? We’re hosting our next Pure User Group meetup on Wednesday, July 1st, from 3-6pm at Oakley Greens. Join the community once again for an afternoon of conversation, and hit the links afterwards for some community fun! Call for Speakers With that said, we are looking for a speaker for the meetup. I know some don’t enjoy speaking in public. That’s completely understandable. I was one of those people for a long time. If you’re considering speaking, but are nervous, here are a couple of ideas that I can offer to help you. Bring a Friend - Whether it’s a colleague, a partner, or an application vendor; ask someone to present with you. This way you can split the topic in half, and you can help each other if one of you get “stuck” during the presentation. Just make sure the topic is how you and the partner / vendor together helped your business be successful. Upcoming Project - When asked to present, we immediately consider a project or task that we recently completed, that we want to share the success of the project with the community. Another speaking option would be to share an upcoming project or task, and ask the community their thoughts and feedback. Something along the lines, this is what we’re doing, we plan on doing this, but I’ve also considering that. Community, what do you think? Have you done something similar? If so, what worked well? What didn’t? Lean on Everpure - Have a topic in mind, but need help from a content or delivery perspective. A member of the Everpure team would be more than happy to help. We can help with content creation, or create a lab environment that would allow you to perform your own demo. Interested in speaking? Let charles_sheppar or your Everpure AE/SE know. Again, we are all happy to help. Attendance... It's Summer Y'all Make sure to click 'Attending' on the event page to let us know you’re coming. We know the days around the July 4th holiday are a popular choice for vacations, so if we determine that attendance might be a little “light”, we can reschedule for mid to late July. Topics To Be Determined, but we have some ideas. Let's get back to basics and talk about performance and capacity management? Too boring, how about a Fusion enablement session? Or, let's discuss how the community is managing the current supply chain crisis? Or, we can do a little bit of everything. Again, Everpure doesn't determine the topic, the community does.
