Join us for a Virtual Tech After Five!

Registration is now open! You can sign up now!

We miss you. It’s BYOB and your own WiFi. Prepare to meet some new people and rebuild relationships with some of those you have been missing.

Like our in person events, you will get to expand and reinforce your professional network. We will introduce you to some key people in the audience and you will get to introduce yourself to others. We’ve got a plan for this, but I also know you’ll need to trust us a bit. Yes, It’s experimental, but we think can help you meet some people even when we can’t be in the same room.

We will be using Zoom. It’s easy and you can join from your phone, MAC, PC, or a web client. If you haven’t tried it before, then go load it and play with it beforehand. There will be a bit of learning.

Good WiFi is important. Use a headset if you plan to talk. Think about limiting background noises and distractions. We’ll go easy on you.

Please remember this is a professional event. Please act, dress, and set your environment to reflect like you would be coming to an actual professional networking event.

IS ZOOM SAFE?

Like you, we’ve been following the headlines regarding the use of the Zoom videoconferencing app. We read them all, we ask our security friends about the app, we continue to use it. We will continue to monitor the situation and we will always what we feel is best for our community. Currently, that means we use Zoom with the settings configured to minimize unwanted intrusion. We hope that works for you.
