Meetings

Each month, at 6 pm on the Second Thursday,  an Adobe-related topic or demonstration is presented by a variety of group members (share your knowledge) or visiting experts. The meetings are free and open to anyone interested in learning about Adobe products and meeting other Adobe enthusiasts. Before the Covid Pandemic, our meetings were hosted at the New Horizon Learning Center, 300 East Highland Mall Boulevard #100, Austin, TX 78752; (512) 349-9555.

Now we meet on Zoom. For access details, please send an email to karen@austinadobeusergroup.com.

Membership advantages

Why join the Austin Adobe User Group? Besides meeting other Adobe enthusiasts and learning how to use Adobe software (through demonstrations at meetings), there are

Twice-yearly Drawing for Adobe Software

To encourage people to join and participate in the local user groups, Adobe allows each user group to have a drawing twice a year for one Adobe software package valued up to $2,100. The Austin Adobe User group holds the drawings at the June and December meetings. All members who are present at the drawing are eligible to win their choice of an Adobe product that retails for up to $2,100.

How to increase your chances to win

  • Attend the meetings. You must attend at least one meeting before the drawing to be a member and be eligible for the drawing. Each meeting you attend increases your chances.
  • Do something that benefits the group - review a book, give a presentation, or contribute in another way. Giving a presentation at a meeting gives the most "bonus" tickets.

If you want to volunteer and earn extra tickets toward the drawing or have any questions, contact Karen Kreps, austinadobegroupmgr@gmail.com.
