When the Southeast Informix Users Group was founded in 1990 in Atlanta, Georgia, there were no other existing Informix user groups in that part of the U.S. The group chose a name that reflected its charter to serve the needs of Informix users throughout the Southeast.

Group functions are regularly attended by members not only from Georgia, but surrounding states as well.

Our meetings are usually half-day or full-day technically oriented seminars, workshops or training sessions. These events are co-sponsored with the local IBM sales office.

There are no membership or other dues associated with joining SEIUG. We do ask that new members fill out a membership form to help us keep our mailing list accurate.
