Greetings! You are receiving this email because you are listed as the main contact for a particular user group or professional association. If you are no longer the user group or association contact, please forward this message to your group's current officers. Why is Adobe Systems Interested in Your User Group or Professional Association? Adobe Systems develops, markets and supports computer software products and technologies that enable users to create, display and communicate all kinds of information - in print, online or on the Internet. We recognize the valuable service that user groups and professional associations provide in raising awareness and building understanding among computer users. That's why Adobe User Group Relations & Professional Associations wishes to support the user group and association community and maintain long-term relationships with its leaders and members. What Will Your User Group Receive When You Register? Throughout the year, registered user groups and professional associations receive useful Adobe product information of interest to their group which helps them better serve their membership. We will provide your group with: Adobe Product Information Mailings Regular bimonthly mailings from Adobe provide the leaders of user groups and professional associations with a variety of information. These mailings feature company editorials; current press releases; product white papers, product and market backgrounders; new feature highlights; fact sheets; tips and techniques to supplement your group's newsletters, websites and meetings. Speaker Presentations and Demos Adobe speakers are frequently available to attend group meetings and conferences to demonstrate Adobe software products and technologies. To arrange for an Adobe product presentation and demonstration at one of your group meetings, complete the Adobe Speaker Presentation Request form online at www.adobe.com/support/usergroup/events.html, e-mail usergroup@adobe.com or use the automated Adobe FaxYI response systems at 650-556-8481. If an Adobe representative is not available to attend one of your group meetings, you may request an Adobe Demo-In-A-Box to assist one of your group members in preparing a demonstration. The Adobe Demo-In-A-Box kit contains a presentation guide, product sampler CDs, a software raffle item and product literature. Review Software Adobe software products are provided free for review in user group and association newsletters and on Web pages. To receive Adobe software for review, your current president or newsletter editor must send us a request (by mail, on organization letterhead). Include some general information about the group and a current newsletter or a hard copy of Web site product reviews. Every organization has 60-90 days to review an Adobe software product. Once a group publishes the software review, the current president or editor may request another software product to review. Send the newsletter containing the published review, along with the new software request, to Adobe User Group Relations & Professional Associations. Upon receipt of the review, Adobe will consider the next software request. Online Presence The latest Adobe product information, current press releases, newest customer spotlights and more are available for publication in your newsletter. To download these documents, check out the Adobe Web site - www.adobe.com or ADOBESYS, the Adobe forum, on CompuServe. Events Adobe supports user groups and professional associations with special user group events at trade shows. Adobe representatives may also be available for participation in conferences, forums, receptions, and fund raisers to meet with user group officers and professional association members and showcase the very latest Adobe products.
