Welcome to the User Group Network News Service. News, reviews, contacts, and networking with user groups all over the world.


Get Certified, Get These Benefits...
show the world you care, grow your group.

UGN affiliate groups (large, small, Mac, PC, Windows, Amiga, Compaq, Palm); associations who support or provide services to user groups; and all the specialty groups are invited and encouraged to become a Certified organization in the User Group Network -- we're calling on you to step forward, be counted, and be seen by the world. Some rather special benefits can be gained just by linking to us. We also offer Admin accounts for groups who do not have a web presence, or groups who wish to bolster their web holdings with a second port of entry.

It's easy:
1) Register your organization in the User Group Registry
2) Provide a link back to the User Group Network from your home page
