Get connected. Join an Avid User Group.
User Groups can be a powerful force in the community and develop into an effective forum for professional networking, solving
technical problems, educating future editors, and sharing ideas and information.
Why are so many editors, producers, and filmmakers around the world members of an Avid User Group? Because there is no better
place to connect with professionals and peers in a relaxed, casual setting.
User Groups are a great way to make valuable connections with the professional community and network while you share ideas and
experiences. User Groups will help expand your editing skill while you pick up valuable tips and tricks. They will also give you the
opportunity to see new Avid systems and software as well as third-party products and keep you up to date on the latest technology.
It is also fun to hear guest presenters talk about their projects, tools, and techniques.
If there isn't an Avid User Group in your area, consider starting one—Avid can help. For more information about starting an Avid
User Group, contact Brenda Bergin at UGDiva@avid.com.

“A good user's group will bring
together those creative people
that wish to benefit from sharing
their experiences. When editors,
authors, or anyone for that matter
reaches out and connects with a
group of like-minded individuals,
that individual has opened up to
a much greater and lasting experience which can heighten the sense
of accomplishment. It's a feeling
that feeds us with vindication and
creates confidence.”
