The January networking meeting for the IT Supporters Network took place at Grimsby Neighbourhood Centre today. Good discussions held all round.
Lots of useful resources and links were shared throughout the morning and I’m going to be making sure that details are posted here so that attendees (and non-attendees) can follow up on the points discussed.
Just a few first comments from this morning….
Thanks again to Chris and Glen from Virtual Riders for supporting the event today (by both attending and funding the venue & food!).
For those who didn’t make it, our agenda covered…
IT Trends to watch in 2011 for organisations in the VolCom sector. In particular we discussed
Databases / capturing and using data
Cloud technologies
Collaborative tools
Social Media tools
We also learned more about Virtual Riders and spent a while too “cooking up a website” – discussing the practicalities of getting a website/online presence working for your organisation.
A lot was shared and needs following up from this morning. I’ll be posting it all here over the next few days so keep an eye out for it!
Next quarterly networking meeting will be 12 April 2011.
