Progress User Groups - Keeping the Progress® Community Strong!
What is a Progress® User Group?
A Progress® User Group (PUG) is an independent association of technical professionals who work with products from the Progress Software Corporation. Typically, they are programmers in the Progress® 4GL or fourth generation language who meet to discuss topics related to the Progress Software family of products and the applications built with those products. PUG stands for the Progress® Users Group. The leading letters indicate which state or region the PUG supports. For example, VAPUG supports Virginia and nearby areas.

When are meetings held? Where?

October. Meetings are held in hotels, conference centers
or members' places of business. Because the PUG members

on consecutive days.

- Central Florida - Tampa, Fla.
What are the benefits of joining a PUG?
