Our group was founded in 2007 as one of four official Adobe groups in Kansas City. We're designers, developers, digital photographers, freelancers, producers, in-house corporate marketing types, and interested students of all ages — focusing mostly on visually-oriented products in the entire Adobe Creative Suite with a strong emphasis on Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Fireworks, and Flash. NO program is off-limits, though...if it's visual, we'll talk about it!

We meet on the FIRST THURSDAY of every month at JCCC (12345 College Bvld., Overland Park, KS 66210) on the 2nd floor of the Regnier Technology Center next to the new museum. Check the monitors in the hallways for exact room location as it changes monthly.

Our primary local sponsor, TEK Systems, provides our members with plenty of Kansas City-based employment opportunities for user experience designers, ActionScript coders, and other positions in contract and contract-to-hire positions. They are a generous sponsor of our group and have been for many years.

Adobe provides us with great presentations, speakers, and prizes. If you're a regular participant in our group, you're very likely to take home some fantastic goodies. Twice a year, we are authorized to give away an entire Adobe Creative Suite package (CS5.5 Web Premium, CS5.5 Design Premium, CS5.5 Production Premium) valued at up to $2,100. Throughout the year we have books, t-shirts, software, and evaluation items for our members...these giveaways are based on your attendance and participation.

Whether you're just starting out with the Adobe Creative Suite or you're an experienced designer, we look forward to welcoming you to our community. It's a lot of fun and nobody walks away empty-handed!

(Due to the proliferation of spammers and scammers, we've had to resort to approving new members on an as-requested basis rather than letting Meetup auto-join new people. To join our group, we ask that you please use a "real" name and a "real" photo of yourself -- our group is composed of real people, not flowers, pets, or abstract designs. Thanks for your understanding!)
