N.C. Technology Topic ‘Best Practices’
PC Direct is sponsoring seminars during which the latest technology solutions and best business practices will be discussed in Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C. and is encouraging independent agents to attend.
Included in sessions will be a TV show featuring guests from Microsoft, Intel, Symantec, APC and Xerox. The event will cover business and technology issues that companies face every day and may face in the future.
“This is not a technical event, it is designed to address and help owners and members of executive management understand the technology and business solutions available to them,” commented Mark Rhoades, a PC Direct spokesman. “If anyone has technical questions staff will be on hand to answer them.”
According to Rhoades, the half-day, two-city show series is designed to keep businesses informed about solutions and practices. The free event is designed to provide an opportunity for local businesses to interact with PC Direct associates and manufacturer representatives.
There will be two boardroom sessions each day, during which business topics will be discussed, including: Security antivirus/spam, networks/wireless environments, storage and power management and why you need to manage it right with APC, plus other key business continuity programs like managed services and what systems are right for your office by Intel. There will be a drawing for prizes worth more than $5,000.
Registration for both events is at 9 a.m., followed by the hour-long keynote address, at 9:30 a.m. The events will feature two boardroom meetings, from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m., with a break from 11:15 to 11:30 a.m., and a second boardroom meeting from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Lunch will be from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m., and there will be a product showcase from 1:15 to 3 p.m. The June 7 event will take place at the Hilton, Charlotte Executive Park 5624 Westpark Drive, Charlotte, N.C. 28217. The June 9 event will take place at the Embassy Suites, 4700 Creedmoor Road, Raleigh 27612. Reservations for either event can be made at www.shoppdirect.com.
