All,

I'm excited to kick off this new user group and I'm glad to see so many people have already signed up and that so many of you can make our first meeting.

In fact, since we have such a large interest in this topic we are moving the location of the meeting to make sure we have enough space for everyone.

We will be meeting at the Illinois Technology Association (ITA) and the address is:

Illinois Information Technology Association (ITA)
200 S. Wacker Drive, 15th Floor
Chicago, IL 60606

I'm looking forward to sharing what we have done around AWS and talk about areas of focus and networking around Cloud Computing.

We will provide bagels and coffee, and Amazon was kind enough to provide AWS T-Shirts for our first meeting.

Best regards,

John Barnes
