McFadyen Consulting Announces Agenda for the Dynamo Users Group (DUG) Meeting in New York City
A New Dynamo User Group Will Meet at the Plaza Hotel in New York on October 11, 2000

McFadyen Consulting, eBusiness integrators, today announced the agenda for the upcoming DUG meeting in New York City. Art Technology Group's (ATG) Dynamo is an award-winning software platform that provides the tools to build and deploy personalized, scalable, customer-driven web sites. DUG will facilitate the development of community among Dynamo users.

McFadyen Consulting, sponsor of DUG, has recruited the participation of an impressive list of speakers to share expertise and industry experience. The DUG event, entitled "Emerging Trends in Web Personalization", has been designed to be an educational experience for all who attend. Presentations will include "Scenario-Based Web Personalization" by ATG, "New Technologies in Web Content Management" by Interwoven, "Aggregation and Syndication of Web Content" by Information Architects, and McFadyen Consulting will share their experiences on a large-scale Dynamo implementation.

DUG New York will be held at the Plaza Hotel on October 11, 2000 from 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. The event, which is complimentary, will begin with a networking breakfast. Event information and registration is available at www.DynamoUsersGroup.org/briefing. The first Dynamo Users Group meeting was held in Washington, D.C. on August 30, 2000. More than 100 people attended the inaugural event which covered similar topics to the New York DUG venue. DUG will meet quarterly in each city.

"As leaders in Dynamo integration, we started the Dynamo Users Group as an open forum for the Dynamo community. By sharing resources, success stories, and evolving technologies, organizations can leverage this great eBusiness platform to maximize their online customer relationships" explained Tom McFadyen, President of McFadyen Consulting.

In addition to quarterly meetings, a new web site has been launched by DUG (www.DynamoUsersGroup.org). The site will focus on Dynamo-related topics such as: Dynamo Resources (a guide to links, books and articles), Message Board (an open, interactive discussion forum), News (articles about industry events), FAQs (frequently asked questions answered by ATG certified Dynamo experts), and Case Studies (success stories from fellow Dynamo users).
