So you think running a user group is easy? You think to yourself, how hard can it be? I was once like you, and then I joined the leadership board for a 850+ member .NET user group and got a reality check. In this session, I'll pull behind the curtain and give you a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes of running a user group. Topics will include finding speakers, acquiring sponsors, dealing with finances, choosing venues, promoting events, dealing with politics, and more.
