The MUG Event Calendar for January 7: Apple’s Dave Marra, Digital Artist Burt Monroy, Adobe, Intuit, FileMaker, Leopard, iLife ’08 and Macworld Expo Anticipation
Mac User Groups are fully re-engaged after a couple slow holiday weeks, with a host of great presenters and informative topics.
Apple’s Dave Marra will get a jump on his presentation schedule in Pennsylvania while Tom Abruzzo and Rick Johnson from the Apple Store will show off Leopard in New York. Digital artist Burt Monroy will be the guest at a California group, while Intuit will demonstrate tax software at another California group, and Adobe will show off Creative Suite 3 in Ohio.
The list of topics beyond guest presenters is wide and varied, with Leopard and iLife ’08 leading the pack that includes digital photography, RSS, holiday Mac presents, Dreamweaver, Web 2.0, audio utilities and more, with a healthy dose of anticipation about next week’s Macworld Conference & Expo.
