About

WHY IMUG?

IMUG is an independent platform for and by data professionals.

We organise physical events that focus on content, connection and growth - with no membership, no barriers.

"Organised by professionals from the field — not full-time event planners."

"Real conversations, in real spaces. That’s where learning actually happens."

WHY IMUG?

A community built around real people, not platforms.

In a world full of vendor-driven conferences and webinars, something was missing — a neutral space where data professionals could truly connect, without pressure.

IMUG was created by people in the field, for people in the field.

With real, physical events where ideas are shared, not sold.

No membership fees. No commercial agenda.

Just content, connection and growth — open to anyone with a heart for data

How does IMUG work?

IMUG is the umbrella user group around Information Management.

Under it are four thematic sub-user groups, each with its own focus area and operation:

Each sub-user group is supported by a team of volunteers: a chairman, secretary, treasurer and/or additional board members. They determine the themes, speakers and content of the events themselves. There is no central hierarchy: each group works autonomously, yet together.

IMUG connects everything in one identity, carried by the community.

Who's behind imug?

Powered by people who care about data — and community.

IMUG is carried by data professionals who believe in sharing knowledge, creating space for real conversation, and building something together.

They’re not hired. They’re not paid. They’re just people who care.

Whether organising events, welcoming speakers, or helping behind the scenes — everything you see here exists because someone made time for it.

It lives because people choose to give something back.
