The WASWUG Conference is a Washington State K-12 User Group, hosted by WSIPC, where users of Skyward’s software can come together to share experiences and ideas to improve their understanding and use of the Skyward product suite. WASWUG provides a unique opportunity for users to network with one another, attend breakout sessions presented by other users, and connect with companies whose products and services enhance Skyward’s software. WASWUG is held each March at the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue, WA.

WSIPC is a public agency that provides technology solutions, services, and support to K-12 schools.
