FAQ

Find answers to common questions about meetings, registration, recordings, Zoom links, prize drawings, and getting involved in the IDUG community.

Are IDUG meetings recorded?

Yes. All sessions are recorded and posted on the IDUG website about a week after the live event.

When will I get the Zoom link?

You’ll receive your personal Zoom link by email 2 days, 2 hours, and 10 minutes before the event. Please don’t forward the link—encourage others to register at http://laidug.eventbrite.com so we can track interest and qualify for better raffle prizes.

Are IDUG meetings free?

Yes! All IDUG events are free to attend. We’re a nonprofit run by volunteers and supported by generous sponsors and community donations.

Do I need to use InDesign to benefit from the meetings?

While our focus is Adobe InDesign, many sessions include topics useful to anyone working with Creative Cloud—such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, PowerPoint, and workflow tools.

What is the pre-meeting chat?

We open the Zoom room 30 minutes before the event for casual conversation. It’s a great time to ask questions, share projects, or just connect with other creatives.

How can I support LAIDUG?

You can support us by donating, attending events, spreading the word, or selecting a swag item with a donation of $125 or more. Visit our swag page to learn more.

How do I get notified about upcoming meetings?

Sign up for our email newsletter here. We send a reminder about once a week, including event info, raffle prizes, and session recordings.

How do IDUG prize drawings work?

All registered attendees are entered automatically. Free registrations get 1 entry; donors get 2. You must arrive on time and respond fast when your name is called.
