Speaker: Cody Anderson, Evenerable GroupCody Anderson will be leading another “Tech Talk” where he will answer your tech questions, demystify the world of business technology, find weapons of mass destruction, and otherwise *dazzle* you. (For those of you not familiar with past “Tech Talk” sessions, think “live auction” meets “help desk”.)
To help get things started, Cody would like members to send him questions, issues, and concerns IN ADVANCE that they’d like covered during the conversation. Anything “tech” is fair game! Don’t delay; send your topics/questions of interest to Cody. Cody Anderson started his career in technology problem-solving over fifteen years ago. While attaining an accounting degree from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Cody paid for his beer working for Lehigh’s academic computing center, as well as for a Lehigh Valley IT consultancy.
