Ohio Valley LIG and IT Leadership Forum
Greetings all!
The next meeting of our 2011 LIG of the Year (shameless plug) is just around the corner on October 27th! Our friends in the Bellarmine University Student LIG are hosting the festivities this time, and are sharing in the presentation of the program. Our combined forces have been busy shaping up the kind of fun, informative, and interactive session that you’ve hopefully come to expect from this group over the course of the year. So if you haven’t already, mark those calendars, check out the link below to RSVP, and plan on coming out in a couple weeks!
If you’d like a little sneak preview of what’s to come, here’s what we’re cooking up for the meeting thus far. After our standard introductions, announcements, and the all important lunch, we’ll be having a short panel discussion on the value of itSMF and the Fusion conference. Following the panel, we’ll be joined by Gail Noren of Cherwell Service Management, who will lead us in a presentation on one of this year’s most widely discussed (and perhaps misunderstood) concepts, Cloud Computing. This will be a great time to air out any questions we have about intelligent, cost-effective uses of this technology, as well as pit falls to avoid when making the decision on whether or not to go to Cloud.
Last, but certainly not least, the Presidents of both of our Student LIGs (Bellarmine and Indiana University) will host an engaging creative discussion on itSMF and Academia. The goal is to identify what’s working or not, and to start planning what we can do together in the future for the benefit of everyone involved. This is an excellent opportunity to stretch our creative muscles, and learn new ways to help us through the technical and social challenges present in each day of our careers.
So that’s what’s on the menu folks. This promises to be another fantastic event, so please remember to click the RSVP link below and let us know that you’ll be attending. The meeting is free for all members, and just $10 for any non-members who’d like to come along. So spread the word, and we’ll see you all at 11:30 on the 27th!
