What is Windrock Users' Group?

The Windrock Users' Group is an annual summer conference that focuses on training the users of Windrock's portable and online equipment. Once a year, we invite all of the Windrock users and their families from around the world to join us. Our meeting location changes every year!

The three-day educational conference is a forum for Windrock product users to learn from each other in a group environment. The conference includes presentations from Windrock's Technical Services group, presentations from featured guest speakers, group discussions where we encourage users to share their field experience/methods, and case studies presented by users which demonstrate problem solving at its best. We also discuss new technology as well as new features and functions that have been added to our products during the past year.

We also find time to squeeze in a bit of family fun as we host a Welcome Dinner on the eve of Users' Group, allowing everyone a chance to get to know each other. Another evening, we host an event at an area attraction that usually includes dinner and entertainment. We encourage all of our users to join in this annual event and experience some Southern hospitality.
