MTC Summit and Webinar roundup

Posted by on 2008/07/02 No comments

Well the Magenic Technology Summit is officially over.  We actually maxed out our registration for the event and had some great sessions on Friday.  On Thursday all the members (30 or so) sat in a room to discuss the current and future state of technology.  It was a really great time hanging out with what we started to affectionately (or not so much) call the "Magenic Nerd Herd" and there was a lot of good discussion.

Also Dan English and I presented our webinar entitled "Make Better Decisions with Your Data".  If you missed it and would like to see it, you can take a look here.
