Sometimes the plethora of user groups out there to join and participate in is almost overwhelming and just annoying because there are too many.
here are a few that I have participated in and sometimes think it isn't worth going to any of them, although I know it is:

IGDA

ACM local group.
Link
.NET user group
Link
CISCO Security User Group

NI sort of has one local to Detroit.

Linux user group

Linux user group
went to my first MUG user group - linux - and caught a talk by Richard Rytman, who used to work in the FBI tracking hackers and it was pretty good. could have been better and I didn't pay as much attention as I should have, but here are a couple of important links mentioned: eDiscovery - you might want to become familiar with the concept if you run a company - Link Infragard - the IT spy group for the FBI - also you can report hacking to the FBI here I believe - Link here is a link to the PDF page about the meeting: Link
