Digital Alberta is pleased to announce the first in a series of upcoming workshops, all of which are geared to provide our members with unique opportunities to train directly with experts in their fields.

Join us Thursday, June 11, 2009, as many of the Associations that represent the ICT and digital media industry in Calgary and surrounding area celebrate the end of their program year with one heck of a shaker and a fantastic networking opportunity.

The event will kick off with a tour of SMART Technologies' new headquarters and research center. Space for the multiple tours is limited so you must sign-up for the tour in advance and will be assigned a timed grouping.
