Whether you’re a developer, administrator, architect, or business user, the Liferay ecosystem is massive, and one way of getting involved, learn, and contribute is through **Liferay User Groups (LUGs)**.

_A quick clarification: when we talk about Liferay User Groups on this post, we’re referring to the geographic, in-person, or virtual gatherings of Liferay enthusiasts, not the “User Group” feature for managing permissions within Liferay._

### How to Join a Liferay User Group

Liferay uses **Meetup** as the central hub to manage and promote our official user groups globally. To find a LUG near you and see their upcoming events, simply visit the Meetup page:

👉 **[https://www.meetup.com/pro/liferay/](https://www.meetup.com/pro/liferay/)** 👈

1. **Visit the link above.**

2. **Find your location** or scroll through the list of active groups.

3. **Click on a group** and join its Meetup page to start receiving notifications about new events, discussions, and content.

Joining a Liferay User Group (LUG) and becoming an active member of the wider Liferay community is a direct investment in your career; you’ll **expand your technical knowledge** by attending events, **grow your professional network** by connecting with fellow experts and Liferay staff.
