Thanks Denis

It's really become obvious to us that, while we have many technical forums
(including this very good one!), professional development and discussion
about the business end of IT (the financials and people relationships) are
not as well supported and that's one of the roles that we see for SLPWA.

We also expect to have more technical get togethers too for members and guests
to feed the inner geek ;-) but it was interesting yesterday to see those
people who had the terminology to succinctly communicate their business
activity. It's a language that's needed to confidently articulate why
a non-technical person needs your professional services.

I'm pleased you enjoyed the day :-)

All the best
Harry
