Tech2Nite

Thanks to everyone who responded to our survey regarding Tech2Nite. We got some great input, and are in the process of formulating a pilot program for October. The focus of the first course will be the design and business, while future courses will focus on other topics such as visualization skills refresh. Additionally, if you volunteered to help lead a session, we'll be in touch with you soon! Check back for a finalized course description and specific dates, and let us know if you have any other ideas. Our goal is that this will become a permanent part of the programming for IDSAtlanta, so we're still open for suggestions! Visit www.tech2nite.com for information on current classes.
