Veeam User Groups Canada (VUG)

Let’s start with a little conversation I have from time to time.

Me: Ok, I’m sure you know that Veeam host User Groups year round?

You: “Looking at me like I’m crazy”

Me: What, wait, you didn’t know!

You: Wait.. I do know, but I forgot, didn’t know where to look, seen an email but then it got lost in the other 500 emails I got that day!

Me: Makes sense, well let me help you out and let you know where to get all the goods, all the time!

Really, that is a conversation I have with myself… So I’m going to write down notes to keep myself in check, and if you want you can copy them. I won’t tell anyone, I promise 😉

The first way you typically find out about a VUG is from your friendly Veeam employees via email, or social media like Twitter, or LinkedIn. Let’s just say you remember seeing it, but can’t locate it. You want to head over to this location that is built for the Veeam Community. There is a wealth of details over here (Distraction alert: A blog by Chris McDonald that will give you lots of resources to use), but if you are looking for Canadian based VUGs you want to head directly over to the location strictly created for Veeam Canada User Groups.

Once you get over to the VUG Canada Group – You want to Join!

Once you click “Join Group” you are now a member. You will get alerts, and also be able to join in on conversations with the Community members.

We do two different types of VUGs in Canada

• Canada Wide
• Region Based

The Canada VUGs are lead by Chris Childerhose, The region based are typically ran by Veeam Systems Engineers. You could get a mix of your favorite Veeam Systems Engineers.

If you happen to read this blog, and you want to find other User Groups that are outside of Canada, take a look at our Event Calendar.

Please do remember the VUG is not only about the in-person and Virtual meetings. Please do have a read of what else is offered.

I could not leave without noting what is coming up.
