4. IT Architecture Special Interest Group - Thursday 13th March

Topic: The IT Architecture Special Interest Group has been running now for nearly two years. Recently the co-ordinator has been wondering if the group could now step up from being run by a one-man band, to being run by a group of people who could lend their talents, experience and expertise to further raise the profile of IT Architects and to better direct and organise the group's activities. Come along and have your say while enjoying some pizza and drinks!

Date: Thursday 14th March 2008
Time: 5:30pm
Venue: Excom Education 191 Pulteney St, (on the corner of Flinders St)
