AIC Meeting: July 28, 2008
Association of Independent Consultants (AIC) in association with the Society of Internet Professionals (SIP) presents:
Windows Vista: Debunking the Myths
Presented by:
Mitch D. Garvis, MCT
IT Trainer
Microsoft's latest desktop operating system was launched with a bang and received - at least by many - with a groan.
In this presentation Mitch will:
-
demonstrate many of the new features of Windows Vista
-
debunk many of the myths
-
while explaining many of the realities.
This promises to be a no-nonsense session presented by a plain-spoken presenter who literally helped to write the book on Windows Vista. (A Springboard Presentation)
Mitch Garvis is an IT Trainer with a passion for community. Having founded and led two major Canadian user groups for IT Professionals he understands both the value and rewards of helping his peers. After several years as a consultant and in-house IT Pro for companies in Montreal, he now works with various companies creating and delivering training for Microsoft to its partners and clients around the world.
Mitch is a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), and has been recognized for his community work with the prestigious Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Award.

The Society of Internet Professionals (SIP)
SIP Benefit now available to AIC Members
The Society of Internet Professionals (SIP) is pleased to announce that some of our affinity programs are available to AIC Members:
Your Profile Website
Marketing and promotion starts with you, more specifically with your name. Having your own URL is a great way to get your name out there and to start promoting yourself.
If you google your own name and it is not listed on the first page in the search engine results, then you may want to consider having your own URL. It represents permanence, professionalism and a brand. The added benefit is that it is independent of your ISP, which you may change at some point.
SIP has put together a program for non-web designers to create a website with an email under their domain name.
