Joint
Tech Council Meeting
April 23, 2008
Palmer Room
Craft Farms
11:30 - 1:00
This is the next in an
ongoing series of luncheon meetings for IT professionals who work in our
area. We want to help create a sense of "community" among IT professionals
who are already here - to share ideas, problems, and learnings - and to help
recruit new IT professionals and suppliers to our area.
As always, the main
objective is for you meet others in your profession and learn
information that is useful to you and your business. |

Our speaker this month is
Steve
Goldsby. Steve is President/CEO, Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc.
The presentation is The Future of Technology – Predictions 2008.
Steve gave a version of this presentation earlier this year at the
annual Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama, with rave reviews.
This is a very thought provoking, fast-paced look at what technology
may bring us over the next few decades. There is a large IT component,
with some Biotech and Energy components as well as some stats from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
According to Steve, "As we are already well into the information age
and the U.S. is fully an information economy, the purpose of the
presentation is to get folks really thinking about the magnitude of
technology impact on our economy, identify future trends and send the
message that we need to focus economic development activities around
technology and begin to move away from classic economic development
activities such as manufacturing."
