WITI To Tackle IT Spending In A Recession Economy
 
     Join us on Tuesday, March 10th in Ft. Lauderdale as a panel comprised of the area's top CIOs, VPs, and IT Advisors take on a topic that affects everyone.  There is not a day that goes by that we do not hear about the recession going on in the US and around the world.  Within IT departments, we are beginning to hear about projects that are suddenly not necessary, representing a shift in spending priorities.  For now, it is imperative to find new ways to finance projects as well as research the cost optimization in IT.
 
     The distinguished panel will be discussing ways to find cost optimization opportunities - and - cutting IT costs without cutting deliverables.  Be there - your IT department (and bottom line) with thank you.

4th Prize: ThinkGeek Bluetooth Retro Handset
 
 
 
Dial "B" for Bluetooth
Okay, so apparently this Bluetooth stuff is named after a 10th century king of Denmark who enjoyed eating blueberries a bit too much, resulting in blue stained teeth. Harold "Bluetooth" Gormson helped to unite Sweden, Norway, and Denmark much like the way Bluetooth helps to unite your wireless gadgets under a single standard. And did we mention that the Bluetooth logo is composed of the rune characters representing his initials - H and B. But that's enough useless trivia for today - let's move onto something much more important! 

That's right! No more tangled up phone cord. Now people will think you're really crazy talking into a old-time handset connected to... nothing.
