Meet the Geeks

Meet The Geeks is proud to present WNC BIT Summit (Western North Carolina Business & Information Technology Summit). This unique event is designed to cater specifically to the growing technology needs of small to medium sized businesses. Unlike other technology focused events – which often leave participants feeling confused and overwhelmed – the aim of WNC BIT Summit is to provide practical, understandable knowledge that people can use to grow and streamline their business.

The summit starts at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 4 with full breakfast before diving in to a morning of learning and networking ending at 12:30 p.m. At our all-info, no-pitch presentations, you’ll learn about the latest technologies and how they can be used to boost your bottom line.

Our keynote and break-out sessions are designed to educate you on the basics of the latest technologies, teach you how to secure and grow your business, and connect you with some of WNC’s top business and technology professionals who can help you take your business to the next level.

You’ll learn how to use technology to:

• Lower your Costs
• Increase Efficiency & Productivity
• Connect and Communicate with your Customers
• Improve your Customer Experience
• Share, Store, and Protect Information
• Automate Repetitive Tasks & Processes
• Respond Quickly and Effectively to Change
• and More!

Once again Meet the Geeks will be participating in the Annual Homecoming Job Fair sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce on January 3 at the Biltmore Square Mall. Our goal is to ensure that people are aware of the objectives of Meet The Geeks as an organization, and to help technical professionals connect with companies who may need their services.

If your firm is currently looking for technologists, please send us any job descriptions that are currently not already actively listed on our web site. We will be happy to add them to our job list, and ensure that candidates know of your opportunity. These positions could include web developers, help desk, programmers, analysts, graphic designers, web designers, database administrators, or others. We will only be able to collect resumes, if we can make some arrangements for you to pick them up if you would like us to do that for you (we are all volunteer after all).

We are happy to list any opportunities that are technical in nature, however, we are not equipped to help with other types of opportunities (sales, marketing, financial positions, etc.). Also, if you know of other companies who may be looking for technical assistance, please feel free to forward this on to them.

From the experience at the 2012 job fair we are aware of at least 4 professionals who secured positions with local companies as a result of Meet the Geeks & the job fair. Keep us in mind if we can help either now or any time in 2013.

The job fair is on 1/3/2013 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.  For more details or if you have any questions, contact jobfair@ashevillechamber.org.
