Membership

Members must work for a non-private sector organization within the MSP-Bloomington Metropolitan Statistical Area. The core focus of the TCGUG is local government, but we also welcome members from the Education and Non-Profit organizations.

User group members attend an in-person meeting in the summer of 2024 in a meeting room at the City of Eden Prairie.

Resources

The TCGUG typically meets remotely once a quarter. We are starting to explore annual or semiannual in-person meetings and had our first in Eden Prairie in June 2024.We record many of our demos and make them publicly available on YouTube.
