The UK AUG AGM
July 1, 2025 @ 4:30 - 5:30
Virtual Event
Welcome to the UK AUG AGM. This is our attempt at breaking the world record for the longest acronym! But seriously folks, it's our chance to get together and share plans for the year ahead, and talk through any questions you may have. The agenda will include our exciting plans for the year ahead - including a step-change in conferences and the online Talk and Chat experience! We would love to have as many of you as possible there - bring a drink and snacks and come and contribute.

Talk & Chat Rebirth!
August 12, 2025 @ 6:00 - 7:00
Virtual Event
Talk and chats are back - and we're kicking off with a warm up for the October conference Andrew and Peter are going to demonstrate Access VBA working with Graph API doing mail, events and OneDrive file searching (and possibly more). Details here will (may!) be updated with new information - but this is a show without the tell - the tell (which would take too long) will be in October. So buy your conference tickets before the Early Bird offer ends :-)

Talk & Chat 02 – September 2025

Virtual Event
Our second Talk and Chat and this one has no talk, it's all chat. This is how we plan to run them - we will alternate T&C events between a mini-presentation of sorts and just a social event to bring your woes, successes, delights and sometime sports results to an online chat with the community. No agenda, few rules (the obvious ones)

Talk & Chat January – Mike Wolfe: AI & Access
Featured January 28 @ 4:30 - 6:00 Online Talk and Chat
Virtual Event
Mike's company is doing some interesting work with AI and Microsoft Access. In this Talk and Chat Mike will talk about some of the tooling they use and how they make it work. AI is very much the subject de nos jours, so knowing Mike this promises to be a thought provoking session that will likely provoke a lot of chat after his talk (just what the doctor ordered for the New Year!)

Access 32k to 64k conversion
March 26 @ 4:30 - 6:00 Online Talk and Chat

The talk With MS pushing Office 365 out by default as 64k to users for a few years now, isn’t it about time you converted your existing apps to 64k? In this talk Peter will be giving a guide on how to convert your Access database from 32k to 64k with useful tips and gotchas regarding Declare statements, pesky ActiveX controls, and suchlike. If you have any conversion questions and want answers from Yoda himself, come along, and share your tales. About Peter Once described as a proper boffin by none other than Rod himself at a previous AUG conference, Peter has been active member of AUG almost since the start and has spoken at numerous events over the years. He has been pushing the boundaries all things Access related for a very long time and his work on Access themes, 64-bit conversions and his continued championing of vbWatchdog are stuff of legends.

Andrew spills the tea from the MS Access team
April 8 @ 4:30 - 6:00 Online Talk and Chat
Virtual Event
Our very own Andrew Richards fresh back to good old blighty from his trip to the States last week where he attended (and presented!) at Armen Stein's Access Day would like to spill all the tea (as the cool kids say) from the Access dev team who also presented on the day. Quite possibly some of the stuff demonstrated will never see the light of day, however a few of the phrases heard throughout the room were “WOW” and “Why the hell didn’t you do this years ago” Intrigued? Interested? Tickets available from the usual places – don’t forget to log in first…
