I was associated with a capacity planning user Computer Measurement Group (https://cmg.org https://cmg.org), also UK CMG and CMG Australia from the early 1990's. CMG and UKCMG are still going strong. A group of CMGA members still meet socially every once in a while. Once I had done my initial on-the-job training, these groups were an essential way to keep my skill levels up and keep in touch with a group of national and international highly specialised IT professionals who worked across mainfame, mid-range and now cloud environments. Presenting at user conferences was a great way to share experiences and maintain a profile in the industry. You can quote me.
