2009 PREDICTIONS LUNCH WITH MARK ANDERSON SELLS OUT EARLY! BOOK NOW! 
The Technology Alliance Group is fortunate enough to have Mark Anderson, the noted speaker and technologist, bring his thoughtful and informed view of the future to the TAG meeting on January 16th. Mark Anderson is one of the most influential technology futurists in the nation. His long-running weekly newsletter, Strategic News Service (SNS), counts a stellar readership, including the likes of Michael Dell, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. Mark regularly comments on CNN TV, NPR, the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Wall Street Review and the New York Times. He writes the "Future In Review" technology column for Fortune magazine, and chairs the annual FiRE Conference and SNS Project Inkwell.
Because Mark always sells out, we've taken steps to help.
1) We've moved the meeting! For January & Mark only, we've arranged to have the meeting at the Syre Auditorium at Whatcom Community College. Better visibility and seating so you can get the most out of Mark's talk. A big thank you to Whatcom Community College for providing the meeting facility.
2) Online booking/payment! Everybody's been asking for online/card arrangements for TAG events - you got it! This way you can ensure a seat at the event.
As always, lunch is included. The Mark Anderson event is slightly more expensive to cover event costs ($15/members & students, $20/non-members; or 2-for-1 bring-a-friend special $25). It's the bargain of the year though compared to the $2,000+ fee you'd pay to hear Mark speak at the annual Future In Review conference in San Diego.
HELP US GROW!
Invite someone. Bring them along. With all the uncertainty about current economic movements, a clear-headed view of the future will be a great shot in the arm. Give your colleagues an idea what TAG can do for them by encouraging them to attend.
And please forward this invitation to your colleagues and friends. This is a rare opportunity.
Remember...THIS WILL SELL OUT!
Date: Friday, January 16, 2009, from 12:00 - 1:30 pm.
Location: Syre Auditorium, Whatcom Community College, 237 West Kellogg Road, Bellingham, WA
Cost: TAG members and students $15, and $20 for non-members; or 2-for-1 bring-a-friend special $25.
