AN INVITATION FROM TUG CHAIR, BRAD MAGUIRE
Dear Valued Partner,
As you may know, TheUserGroup.org (TUG) is a collection of more than 2000 real experts; colleagues
at more than 450 companies throughout North America and the UK. All of us are working with Infor
distribution software every day, and connecting with each other with the same goals – to be smarter
about our Infor software in order to help our companies be as efficient as possible and maximize profits.
Our 2020 partners were ecstatic about the level of discussion and number of leads generated
through TUG. This year we are beginning to offer an even broader range of Year-Round Partnership
opportunities to suit your needs.
TUG Connects is the association’s annual conference that historically attracts about 650 Executives, IT professionals, and others from all
aspects of business operations in the Distribution community. It features deep opportunities for networking and education that includes over
200 high-quality presentations, seminars and roundtable discussions to make attendees smarter in their business. In 2020, we extended those
opportunities to our premium Webinar Series, TUG Connects 365, which has been a resounding success.
A few facts about TUG, TUG Connects and TUG Connects 365:
TUG CONNECTS ANNUAL CONFERENCE
n Companies represented at the annual conference collectively have nearly $75 billion in annual sales.
n These companies spend nearly $50 million on software, hardware, and service technology every year.
n About 40 percent of TUG Connects attendees attend for their first time.
n With our conference moving to virtual in 2021, we anticipate an even greater number of both total and first-time attendees

n The same webinars have received over 3,500 views from the recorded sessions
n Our TUG Connects 365 Webinar Series has been expanded to include numerous mini-series’ including Solution Partners, Thought
Leaders, and more.
TUG MEMBER FORUM
n Includes over 15 active Networking Groups across all key technologies and business functions
n In 2020 our Member Forum has hosted over 6000 unique discussions, with over 57,000 posts
As you can see, TUG has become a collection of true Thought Leaders in the Distribution Industry and has become the Destination for
Knowledge and Solutions. We generate a LOT of traffic and a LOT of interest. Our partners, with the unique solutions they offer, are always a key
element of that collection.
I encourage you to review the enclosed details and respond quickly, as we expect to sell out.
On behalf of the entire TUG Association, I hope you’ll choose to partner with us in 2021, for what’s shaping up to be our most active year yet!
