The User-4-User Conference was organized by the Vantage Midwest User Group (VMUG) and mostly a bunch of hard work by Calvin Decker and Kathrine Barry. It was not an EUG event and was not "sanctioned" by Epicor nor were their employees permitted (by Epicor) to attend. It was held in Chicago last August 11-12 2005. The premis was users helping other users with day-to-day issues in using Vantage. It was open to anyone using Vantage, not just VMUG members.
IMHO it was very successful. Not as polished as Perspectives (nor as large) but pretty darned good for a first try. I learned a lot and had really good interaction with other users. There was talk at the time of having a repeat in May so as to not conflict with Perspectives attendance and make it easier for people to justify attending both.
Sadly May has come and gone and there has been no talk (that I have heard) whether this can be repeated. It looks like EUG may be stepping in to create more user to user interaction and advocacy with Epicor and also more user lead sessions at Perspectives. If successful the need for two confernences may be moot.
BTW - I am pre-registering for Perspectives today.
