About the Fairfield / Westchester User Groups

The Fairfield / Westchester User Groups provide free learning opportunities for .NET and SQL Server professionals (and amateurs) in the Stamford, CT and Westchester, NY area. The groups are supported by CITI, a unit of the University of Connecticut’s School of Business, which provides the broad spectrum of resources needed to fulfill personal academic and corporate IT development objectives. CITI and UConn provide a range of dynamic education and training on the Microsoft .NET Platform. CITI will facilitate an environment where the Corporate, Faculty, and student members can share ideas and help develop the next generation applications.

We meet to discuss all Microsoft .NET and SQL Server related technologies of interest to .NET developers and SQL Server DBAs. The normal format starts with a sponsored dinner (normally pizza) from 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM, when users can interact and otherwise network with each other, This is followed by a main .NET-related presentation normally running from 6:30 PM to around 8:15 PM, given by local and regional speakers. We normally close the evening by raffling off books, software, and other fun giveaways, followed by any announcements of interest to the audience.
