The Glovia International User Group: Creating Payback Together

By Ken McAninch, President - Glovia International User Group

As many of you already know, the Glovia International User Group is an independent, not-for-profit organization for glovia.com users around the world. If you have not participated in any of our activities before, please consider starting now!

The User Group is an extremely valuable way for you to get the most from your Glovia solutions as well as network with and learn from your fellow manufacturers. As with any organization, the User Group always becomes stronger and more successful when others participate.

2004 Glovia International User Group Conference
While there are still a few months left in the year, it's never too early to save the date for the next annual Glovia International User Group Conference. Next year's conference will be held at the Hilton in the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando, Florida May 23rd - 27th. In planning for the 2004 event, we asked glovia.com users to tell us what we could do to make our conference even better. With that feedback in mind, we have designed an information-packed program that will provide you with more value than ever before.

The 2004 conference will give you the opportunity to see for yourself the kinds of real-world benefits made possible with glovia.com. Beyond customer presentations, you will also see live demonstrations of how Glovia's solutions can provide even greater opportunities for payback.

Learn more about our 2004 conference and even register on-line. Sign up before February 29, 2004 and save $200 with Early Bird Registration!

Calling All Presentations
User presentations are the cornerstone of every Glovia International User Group Conference. They represent the hard-won successes and experience of glovia.com users like you and are invaluable to attendees.

We are accepting user presentations for all 2004 conference tracks including:

• Operational — show how you overcame a challenge or improved your business with glovia.com.
• Application — demonstrate how to get the most out of glovia.com's capabilities.
• Technical — inform your peers on how to make glovia.com a key piece of their technology strategy.

If you are interested in presenting at the 2004 Conference, please contact Scott Minter at scott@florida-pneumatic.com. Again, user presentations make the conference a much better experience for everyone. We all win when we share our success and best practices.

I look forward to seeing you at the 2004 conference!
