Hiya Adobe Users Group,

 After much searching and evaluating pros and cons, we are going to try a new location. Central Market’s Common Room (located upstairs)

Drew Shefman will present a recap of the Flex360 conference happening the week prior. Anybody else who is planning on attending Flex360 and the UG Meeting is welcome to help share the knowledge of what they learned.

 Also, wanted to introduce Brian Dusablon as the new co-manager of the User Group.
