NWNUG Presentation - Josh Holmes - October 25

Note: This event has passed. Sorry if you missed it.

Mark your calendars. On Tuesday, October 25, INETA Speaker Josh Holmes will be presenting to the NW Ohio .NET User Group (NWNUG) in downtown Toledo on new Data Binding and Caching features in ASP.NET 2.0.

It's not too often that we get a national speaker from the INETA Speaker Bureau, so this is a big event. (I'm not going to mention that even though Josh is a national-level speaker, he happens to live in SE Michigan)

If you're a regular attendee, then please don't miss this upcoming meeting. If you haven't been to a meeting in a while, then please plan on making an appearance for this one. And if you have never been to a user group meeting, then by all means, come spend the evening with your peers to see what all the excitement is about! Bonus points if you bring multiple friends and co-workers. Extra bonus points if you can get your pointy-haired boss or sales goob to attend.

It costs you nothing, plus you get Pizza and Pop, plus you might walk away with one of several door prizes that are given away at the end of the night (things like XBox games, Microsoft hardware, and Microsoft software).

If you've never been to a User Group meeting before, then I can understand your sense of anxiety. But, it's really not a big deal. You show up to the location, sign in to the facility's guest book (i.e., if the building has security), then go to the meeting room. Find a seat, enjoy the show, fill out a survey at the end, wait around to see if you win any of the raffle prizes, and then go home. It's really that easy, and you'll learn something in the process.
