Got Geek?

If you rush, you’ll still have time to catch this evening’s lecture “New Trends in How IT Creates Value in Companies” at the Asheville Renaissance Hotel. Sure, it may sound a little dry, but don’t dismiss the idea just yet. It’s a little cooler than it sounds.

In essence, the lecture will explain methods to increase the return on investment in technology infrastructure, something that Asheville’s economy could certainly benefit from. Learn how almost any business can benefit from not only technology upgrades, but from better use of their existing equipment and staff. And, if that weren’t enough, it’s also a great way to hob-nob with others in the WNC tech sector.

This enlightening presentation will be given by tech lecturer Kathy Brittain White, and is co-hosted by the Blue Ridge Entrepreneurial Council (BREC) and local IT gurus Meet the Geeks.

The lecture is $20, or $15 if you’re already a member of Meet The Geeks. Registration starts at 5:30 p.m., and the lecture itself starts at 6:30 p.m. You can also register online here.
