    MIT Mullingar Meetup – September

    Hi all,

    The next MIT Mullingar next meetup will be held on Tuesday 30th September at 6.30 pm in the Annebrook house hotel.

    I am pleased to announce that Niall Hearn from local IT company Midas has agreed to attend and talk to MIT about current and future plans. Midas currently are in expansion mode and have some open positions in Mullingar. Niall one of the company directors is a natural speaker and has great vision for the company. I’m sure that many of us would be very interested in hearing what he has to say and of course a chance to ask a few questions!

    Please let us know by reply on this thread if you are:

    1. able to attend on the night.
    2. interested in nibbles at 7 euro a head

  • MIT Mullingar July meetup

    MIT Mullingar July meetup

    May we propose Tuesday 29th of July at 6.30 pm, in the Mullingar Park Hotel (TBC) for the next meetup.

    Having some nibbles at the first event (sponsored by Cookieweb) proved very popular, I circulated the idea at the last meeting that we could orgnaise pizzas or finger food for a reasonable price of ~6-7 euros a head.

    Please let us know if you can attend the next meetup and if you would be interested in the food option.

    FYI MIT Mullingar now has 59 members!

  • MIT Initial meetup

    MIT Initial meetup

    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

  • MIT + New Frontiers

    MIT + New Frontiers
