The 2013 EGL-IUG has been cancelled.

This year’s Eastern Great Lakes Innovative Users Conference (EGL-IUG), scheduled for Friday, September 13 at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, OH, has been cancelled.

The Planning Committee will be starting its work for a 2014 EGL IUG early by considering new possibilities for how the conference will be organized. Look for a survey to be offered in the later months of this year for your input as to what you’d like to see from a regional conference such as the EGL-IUG.
