Description:

Energize IT: Anything is Possible.

Energize IT: Community Connection Series is an evening event series hosted by your local Community User Group. Throughout the evening event, you will hear us, Microsoft advisors, talk about Windows Azure, Office System 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Windows Mobile. It’s evident the Microsoft-based platform presents a bevy of opportunities for all of us. Whether you are a Developer or an IT Pro, knowing how these will impact you is critical, especially in the new economic reality.

This evening Energize IT: Community Connection event will help you understand Microsoft’s Software+Services vision. You will find out about the possibilities that these technologies help realize and the value that they can bring to your organization and yourself.

We will explore the Microsoft-based platform through a scenario that will demonstrate different points of view - from developer to IT Pro, from consumer to the information worker. From the client to the cloud, this fun-filled demo-intensive exploration will excite you about the possibilities of the Microsoft-based platform. You’ll see how to build next generation applications with technology like Silverlight, .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. You will find out how to consume those applications on a variety of devices, like mobile devices running Windows Mobile, netbooks and PCs running Windows 7, as well as the web. You will learn about how the Microsoft-based platform allows you to connect with your colleagues no matter where you are –office, coffee shops, or your own living room. You’ll also see how you and your colleagues can be even more productive with Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010.

For cities that have a full day Energize IT: From the Client to the Cloud full day event, please note, the community evening event is an encore presentation of the first part of Energize 2010 daytime event.

EnergizeIT: Community Connection series is your opportunity to learn how to harness the power and flexibility of the Microsoft-based platform from the client to the cloud.

March 10th
5-7pm
La Teraz, 154 Church St. Moncton

This month our special guest,Malcolm Fraser of ISL Web Marketing and Development will to be talking to us about
Linking Business Goals to Website Objectives - The Big Picture.

Companies need to start recognizing that more buyers initially visit your website than your physical offices. This topic is not about Technology, but more about understanding your target audience and what information they require to make decisions on your business offerings. Many companies put care and planning into their storefronts, lobbies and other physical locations. The same amount of strategy needs to be put into the most widely visited storefront every company has -- your website.

http://www.isl.ca

See you there!

Maximiser les stratégies de marketing sur le web.

Les compagnies doivent commencer a reconnaître que de plus en plus les consommateurs visitent initialement votre site web au lieu de vos offices physiques. Ce thème n’est pas la technologie, mais plus comment comprendre votre public cible et de quelles informations il nécéssite pour faire des décisions sur les produits que votre enreprise leur offre. Plusieurs
compagnies dévouent de la planification et de l’attention à leurs vitrines, foyers, et autres emplacements physiques. Le même montant de stratégie doit être consacrée à la vitrinne la plus visitée d’une compagnie – son site web.

Come out and share a pint with other startup folks (everyone welcome, not ICT specific). A chance to meet new people, catchup with old friends and talk about what you're up to, what you might need help with.

Count yourself in!
Venue: The Blue Door Restaurant and Bar, 100 Regent Street (Map)

It’s a simple concept: a grassroots effort to make sure startup folks get in touch and stay in touch.

Best described by the folks that started this whole thing:

So what is Startup Drinks?

a) A drinking group with a startup problem.
b) A low key, unstructured group drinking (coffee, beer or spirits) event that happens in cities across the world
c) Therapy for startup junkies (you don’t have two days to go to a conference, but you do have two hours and would love to stay involved in the community)

We hope to see YOU there! Please let us know whether or not you can make it!
