Welcome to HoneywellUsersGroup.com, a bold new step to bring the 34-year history of Honeywell Process Solutions' Users Group Symposium into the digital realm. This website brings the same outstanding presentations delivered during the recent event, as well as coverage of the key event announcements, to your fingertips. While nothing beats attending "HUG" in person for the hands-on demonstrations, one-to-one interactions with product experts, training on the latest technologies and group discussions with other Honeywell users, we hope you find this site to be a valuable alternative to having physically been at the customer-led event. Enjoy your visit to HoneywellUsersGroup.com and please let us know what you think. We hope you'll plan to join us for a future HUG!
