Annual and Quarterly Sponsorship Opportunities
The Louisville Microsoft Users Group (LouMUG) has been running for over 17 years. Originally founded by IT firm Mirazon in conjunction with Sullivan University’s IT program, LouMUG aimed to provide a regular forum for Louisville’s information technology community, centering around the Microsoft ecosystem.
As the years wore on, attendance grew and many other organizations saw the value in participating in LouMUG. The group meets monthly at lunch, generally for a panel or presentation on a Microsoft technology or an industry trend.
LouMUG has and will always be first and foremost educational and informational and can’t function without the support and generosity of its sponsors.
