This past weekend I attended the AITP Region 18 Conference in Columbus, OH. This was a great opportunity for me to meet and network with several Information Technology Professionals. If you have never attended a AITP meeting I highly recommend that you do.
The following was our agenda and a brief afterthought of the topics:
- Ice Breaker – Got to trade name tags and learn a few facts from a new friend.
- Leadership – Caught up on the leadership changes within AITP on the national level.
- VMWare – Learned how VMWare is moving into the cloud. I was very impressed with the ability to move in and out of the VMWare cloud.
- Cloud Computing – This really makes it easy to do a SaaS startup. I am looking forward to trying azure out.
Following the technical sessions we had a great dinner and networking session at the Buckeye Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, it looked like my presence cursed Ohio State.
FYI, don’t beat yourself up over OSU, that’s just how we roll…
Thanks Jon. As a side note its funny that my friends in Wheeling want me to go back
My Oklahoma Sooners also didn’t do well this past weekend too.
John, I appreciate your blog about the conference. And Ohio State made up for the loss this past weekend when they tortured Michigan.
Cara thank you for putting on a great event. It looks like Ohio State is on track to play in another BCS game. I wish I could say the same about my Sooners.
