You will receive the link to your session(s) Friday, September 11, 2020

Greetings from MAGMAacademy!  We hope you are staying healthy and productive.  We received many responses from our announcement about canceling the User Group Meeting (UGM). Since many users expressed disappointment, this encouraged us to rally together and develop an online program we are excited to conduct.  We also hope this attracts users who may not have been able to attend due to travel bans, or overwhelming schedules.

As you will see on the agenda, these sessions are shorter than they are in person, but we are embracing and adapting to the current situation.  We look forward to still having the ability to share some great technical information and updates with you.  With this virtual format, customers who work across process/alloy group lines have the opportunity to attend any and all sessions they wish.

Please click the link to see the schedule and agenda for our four breakout sessions, as well as register.  When you register, please be sure to choose all sessions you are interested in attending.  There is no timing overlap, so you are able to attend multiple process group’s sessions. In your confirmation email that will be sent out on Friday, September 11th, we will provide unique links to the online event for each process group’s session.  There will be NO COST to attend this event, and each session is planned for approximately three hours.

Please consider joining us!  This will be the quickest, easiest and most affordable way for you to stay up to date.

See you at the Virtual UGM!
