Phoenix Silverlight User Group - December 5th 2007

Last night's Silverlight User Group meeting at Interface Technical Training was a great experience!  We dared to be different, and the result was what I always hoped for at these types of events - 100% interaction.  That's right, everyone was involved.

It is my personal opinion that the typical "one-to-many" user group meetings lack the potential of greatness because too much emphasis is placed on the presenter.  Last night was truly a "many-to-many" experience.  I could not believe the level of excitement everyone had when the meeting was over.  Attendees were in no hurry to leave.  Many stayed late to network with one another.  I heard comments such as "finally a real user group experience", "I can't wait until the next meeting!", "I want to be more involved", "this is the most inspired I have been from a user group meeting".

In the not so distant future, I will provide the secret to what made last night a success.  In the meantime, I suggest all Phoenix-based Silverlight enthusiasts not to miss our next meeting February 6th, 2008, 6pm at Interface Technical Training.  See for yourself how a user group meeting can be a different kind of learning experience!
