Hi,
I’m quite pleased that our initial reaching out has found so many IT professionals locally. My inital target of 20 members has been well exceeded and with this I think we should begin to arrange our first meetup.
Agenda:
Initial meet and greet, lets introduce ourselves (30 seconds each), agree what we want to achieve individually and as a group. How often do we want to meet? Do we organise Talks/Presentations formally at each meetup or do we keep it as purely networking? How best to promote IT in the midlands. Linking IT needs with capability.
Possible Presentation Topics:
- Apps or Mobile Optimised Site?
- Latest Cloud developments
- Going out on your own
- Dragons Den pitches
- Open source Pros and Cons
- SEO from an expert
- UX from an expert
- Making Social Media work for you
- Hosting – What do I need to know?
- Are robotics the new new thing?
All suggestions welcome!
And to finish, a humorous reminder of why us IT people need each other! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKorP55Aqvg
