Adobe formed its first InDesign User Group in November 2001. This group, meeting quarterly, brought together members of the New York publishing community who were interested in InDesign, from early adopters to recent converts to the merely curious. News spread of what designers saw and heard at these meetings, and attendance grew.
InDesign User Group meetings became, and remain, an important factor in how news about InDesign is communicated and how users learn techniques, tips, and tricks to keep their skills sharp.
As of early 2013, the Adobe Worldwide InDesign User Group Community claims more than 89 chapters in 36 countries, with more than 55000 members.
While InDesign User Group chapters and meetings are managed by community members, they are supported and promoted by Adobe.
We welcome the continued growth of existing InDesign User Group chapters around the world as well as the establishment of new ones.
Membership in InDesign User Groups is free. By creating an account on InDesignUserGroup.com, you can join a local user group chapter in your area, register to attend events, and be eligible to receive members-only discounts and benefits such as discounts on relevant books and magazine subscriptions, entry to trade events and conferences, training, and software.
