The Central States OAUG is the GEO group for Missouri and Kansas, although we encourage participation from customers and partners from all over the country and the world. We were founded in the year 2000 and have increased in membership and conference attendance every single year since our beginning.

Members from our board attend the national OAUG conferences and Oracle Open World every year in order to incorporate the best ideas from these quality events into our conferences. The important thing to our organization is not just the increase in attendance, which we do consider a metric for success, but the increasing quality of our events.  We have acheived recognition from Oracle Corporation, OAUG and many Fortune 500 organizations for the quality of our events, and we strive to improve them each year.  

We have also won the GEO/SIG Certificate of Distinction Outstanding Achievements award, and our board holds leadership positions on multiple committees within the OAUG.
