SCIUG Conference SCIUG is the Southern California regional chapter of the Innovative Users Group. It is led by the Steering Committee who organizes the annual conference.

This is a reminder that the SCIUG Steering Committee is still accepting program proposals until August 15, 2018. Please use this form to submit your proposal. This is a great opportunity for you to share projects, ideas, workflows, methods, trends or achievements with your Southern California colleagues.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Steering Committee would like to continue providing attendees of the SCIUG Conference with an informative and communal experience, and the programming we provide relies on the community of Southern California III users to actively participate through the submission of proposals. The quality of the experience at the upcoming 2018 conference could be affected unless more proposals are submitted for us to review. The committee hopes you will consider participating by providing us with program content and we look forward to seeing you at Chapman University in October.

The Southern California Innovative Users Group (SCIUG) conference will gather on Tuesday, October 23, 2018, at Chapman University, and the Steering Committee is eagerly seeking program content from you.

In addition to presentations by Innovative staff and one-hour concurrent breakout sessions, we will have a poster session. This is also an excellent chance to meet directly with III personnel who will be in attendance.

Proposal submissions will be accepted until August 15th. Presenters will be notified of proposal acceptance beginning September 5th.

Please use this form to submit your proposal.
Suggested topics from previous post-conference evaluations include:
• III Customer Support / new functionality
• Weeding
• More Polaris presentations
• MySQL workshop / SQL report-writing
• 3rd-party tools w/III products
• Best practices
• User experiences (migration)

• Encore Duet
• Sierra APIs
• Stats / create lists / other ways of reporting
• Linked Data

If you’ve done a III-related presentation on the national level, this is an opportunity to share it locally with your colleagues.

Have you recently completed an interesting project, reconfigured a workflow, or had an "ah ha" moment? We want your contribution!
