2. Techno Expo at Gold Coast Libraries
More information: Techno Expo Flyer
9am – 7pm tomorrow (11 September 2008) the Broadbeach Branch Library is running a session to introduce their community to “all sorts of gadgets, tools and concepts” . They have workshops, presentation, information displays and a chance to book a 20 minute slot with a gadget guru. Topics include blogging, privacy and managing online presence, getting the most from your MP3 and digital photography. I love the way they have sprinkled the timetable with a couple of introductory sessions to the library’s online resources.

Heya Katherine
Thanks for the note about our Techno Expo. Just thought I’d let you know that the day was a resounding success – we had the equivalent of about 400 customers through the (17) sessions on the day, with overwhelmingly positive feedback, and a general consensus of “we want more”. Customers really enjoyed their gadget guru consultations – it was a rare opportunity for them to get some one-on-one help with their techno tools. I think the gurus were one of the biggest successes of the day.
We’re planning Techno Expo 2009 as we speak…
PS. LOVE Simply Books!
