Meetings/Events Schedule, Registration, Directions,
& Associated Downloads
 

Membership (click here to go to Membership page) is absolutely FREE and optional -- it is DIFFERENT than Registering/RSVPing for an individual event or meeting (below).  Our totally PRIVATE e-mail list is not sold or leased to anyone.  While membership is not required in order to attend or participate in NATCAP-OUG events, Oracle Corp (due to enhanced building security since "9/11") does ask that you RSVP/Register for each event.
è One of the many benefits of membership is that you will receive a couple of messages per month explaining the main topic(s) of each event, overall agenda, meeting location, and Registration/RSVP links.  We typically meet at the Oracle Corporation building at 1910 Oracle Way, Reston, VA  20190 -- the building with the small dome on it -- typically on the first or third Wednesday or Thursday of the month.  But see meeting details below for more current info on the next meeting/event.  NATCAP has hosted in Maryland also, and we plan to accommodate more Maryland/WDC folks in the future.
