ConvergeSouth is pleased to announce that Microsoft is a new conference sponsor in 2008. Microsoft is mentoring our video / photo walking tour and supplying free software to tour participants. In addition, Microsoft will provide experts to lead breakout sessions for the special Guilford County Schools’ top IT students who are special invitees to ConvergeSouth 2008. They will lead additional sessions that will be of great interest to ConvergeSouthers. Even better, Microsoft will be supplying tools and resources for technically-oriented people at ConvergeSouth 2008. Join us in welcoming Microsoft to ConvergeSouth 2008!

Due to a gracious and generous sponsorship from Carolinanet, ConvergeSouth 2008 is able to open registration for the Video Tour. (big YAY!)
Carolinanet’s sponsorship enables us to rent two vans to take up to 28 CS’ers and their video cameras on a video tour of Greensboro. After the tour, all the video will be group edited (watch out, you might just learn some new skills!) and as time goes on, turned into a couple of ConvergeSouth Greensboro videos. Thanks to Tom Lassiter (once again) for hooking me up with one of our heretofore unknown (to me) Greensboro video heroes from one of Tom’s user groups (that is, “group that Tom attends”). We’re working on our group editing location (as yet undisclosed) and our two video tour leaders are Robert Scoble and Tom Lassiter with a nudge over at the Lenslinger to drop his name into the big hat.
Registration is limited to 28 tushies (with our two tour leaders adding two tushes to the group). First registered, first to hop on the bus. Date: October 16 (Weds.) noon-6 p.m. with dinner with the gang afterward. Read the only two “rules” at the ConvergeSouth 2008 site. (We have two registrations already. Serves you right - get on the Google Group list for breaking news.)
