SWMUG

Yep it’s true, Don Kerr, the Product Manager for Windows Phone,  Microsoft Australia will be presenting on the new Windows Phone 7 Series.

 

He’ll be followed by Anina Net, super-model, the first ever Top Foreign Model Award winner in China, and Nokia Champion. Anina will be presenting on her Mobile Startup Technology, 360Fashion which is about Mobile Magazines. Not only are these a work of art, but they are a compelling marketing tool, and work across all phone platforms.

Two presentations not to be missed!!!

Whatever you do, don’t head to the Microsoft building. For two reasons.

1. We’ve moved and you can find us at the City Hotel. 
2. There’s no beer at the MS building, however, there is beer, and wine, soft drink and your choice of pub meals at the City Hotel.

We start as usual at 6:30pm on Tues 9 March, we’ll be discussing the latest news in Mobile Technology, be blown away by these two amazing speakers, and have a chance to network.

Please remember to share this with your friends – invite as many along as you like.

As you can imagine with an event like this, space will become limited relatively quickly, so please RSVP (free entry) at    sign up to our Facebook Group and RSVP there, or email RSVP@swmug.org

See you there – and watch out for our SMUG Mobile Mag…

Just a reminder that next Tuesday, 14^th July, will be our July SWMUG meeting.

This meeting will also be our AGM, but we’ve got some other great stuff lined up.  Full details are below.

Due to some changes in the after-hours security services at Microsoft Australia, there is no on-site security staff after 6pm. Therefore the group will need to wait outside the main entrance until a Microsoft representative is available to take us to our meeting room. People arriving after 6:15 please call one of the Exec Members via the mobile number posted on the door at the main entrance.

So come one, come all – bring a friend, non-members are welcome!
See you there!
