When Are We Meeting to Plan the Next Epic Conference
The TSUG Committee is tasked with bringing their individual experiences and expertise to quarterly meetings to assist in making recommendations for Skyward software product improvements and enhancements. This is accomplished by bringing the perspective of numerous end users spanning across different district departments from school districts around the State of Texas.
The Committee is also tasked with providing support and planning for the annual TSUG Conference. These same individuals representing districts around the State of Texas work alongside Skyward Directors and Managers to plan for course offerings, staffing, conference strategies, vendors, and much more, including the overall attendee experience.
