July/August
Summer Break, No Regularly Scheduled Meetings
(Special events will be posted)
From the President
Hello Everyone:
We will be breaking for summer and will begin again in the Fall. The board will get together to plan for next years user group events and activities. Some of the suggestions we have heard for meeting topics include; more RPG topics, more hands on activities, RDP and PHP. Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts on topics or presentations that you would like to see included within next years user group meeting agenda. We had a great 2009/2010 year and look forward to next year. MITEC 2010 was a great success and we have already begun to plan for next year.
While we are on break during July and August we plan to organize a trip to Toronto to visit and tour IBM Toronto labs. We are in the process of organizing the event and details will be posted on the user group web site. An email will also be sent to the group list. We are hoping to arrange for a Friday tour so those that would like to do so can plan a trip and spend the weekend in Toronto. We'll have updates soon!
Be sure not to miss the free HNC webinar in August.
Have a great summer.
Regards,
Laura

MITEC
MITEC 2010 was a great success. The new venue "Schoolcraft College Vistatech Center" was well received. The facility was well suited to our event. It was truly a power packed day of education enjoyed by all. Plenty of current topics and sessions to choose from(including a PHP "hands on" lab) with an all star line up of presenters. The culinary institute provided food for the event and many expressed how great the food was. We were very pleased to again have AIX included at the event. The vendors were very generous this year with raffle items including 2011 MITEC conference registrations, 2 GPS devices, an iPad and a digital camcorder and much more. A great thanks to our presenters, vendors, MITEC staff and Vistatech staff.
Some of the feedback received included:
We hope you were able to participate at MITEC 2010 and if you weren't we look forward to seeing you at MITEC 2011.
