We welcome you to our 2nd Annual CFITS Holiday Charity & Fundraiser Social. Come to talk and visit with your peers in the Central Florida IT Community for some drinks, appetizers and fun at Cafe Murano – Altamonte Springs Town Center.

Last year our event was such a great success with over 100+ toys given to Central Florida Children, and we thank you for all your support.

This year we are supporting two different charities and we expect the turn out to be even better!

THE CHARITIES:

1. Toys for Tots - A US Marine Corps charity that collects Christmas gifts for less fortunate children and distributes the gifts to qualified families throughout the United States.

2. Helping Central Florida - A Central Florida grassroots organization aimed to provide financial assistance to disabled individuals on medical equipment and supplies. - Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter

2010 Green Technology Event

Administrator — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:29:00 +0000

In these hard economic times, green initiatives can be a hard sell. Companies don’t want to take a gamble on pricey projects that lie outside their core mission. Yet lots of eco-friendly ideas promise to pay for themselves and then some by slashing costs and boosting efficiency.

How should Central Florida Businesses approach the problem?

We have teamed up with some Central Florida IT Experts to discuss how you can leverage some of the technologies of today and the future to begin saving on long term expenses and quantify your savings.
We will take a look at Virtualization, Thin Clients, Power Management and Video Conferencing in a open discussion environment to get all your questions answered by the experts.

Join us for a Lunch n Learn!

When: Thursday, October 14th | 12pm – 2pm
Venue: TekGiants – Longwood, FL (map)
Cost?: FREE

FREE LUNCH is Included!

We look forward to seeing everyone there.
