Information is meant to be shared. In that spirit, Kalamazoo-based Newmind Group is bringing together business, nonprofit, education and government IT department leaders and staff to share what they have learned.
“As we’ve been working with local IT executives, we recognized a huge void in the communication between companies that are all trying to make technology work for them,” says Matt Vollmar, of Newmind Group. “We think that getting the IT community together will allow us to learn from each other and increase the innovation that happens in West Michigan.”
Newmind Groups is hosting the half-day event that gets under way at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 21 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in downtown Kalamazoo. Registration is free, but the number of attendees is limited. To register, visit here.
The event is billed as a chance to learn from peers, compare your IT system confidentialy with others and find out about some of their practices, explore new IT ideas and solutions from leading vendors, and as a chance to go home with a new toy — Chromebooks and tablet giveaways are planned.
Workshops will be on such topics as work in the future–a look at robotics, wearables, realtime and mobile; disaster recovery; and using help desks.
The company says Newmind Group wants to be a part of helping Southwest Michigan community build IT together, learn from each other, and benefit from collaboration.
Newmind Group was recently named as one of Michigan’s Top 50 Companies to Watch. It began as a small, regional IT company in 2003, an now has offices in Charleston, Minneapolis, and Silicon Valley. It is a national provider of cloud computing solutions for businesses of all sizes. Its specialty is moving legacy systems to more cost effective and reliable cloud based systems.
