The MUG Event Calendar for April 21: Justin Krisko of Apple Australia, Apple TV Take Two, NAB Wrap-Up Panel, Earth Day and a Mac Crawfish Boil
Just when we thought we’d seen it all on The MUG Event Calendar, several new and unique events make their debut.
Justin Krisko of Apple Australia will present to a group “down under” and Apple TV Take Two will be the featured topic in Louisiana. Adobe InDesign will be covered in Wisconsin, Safari in Florida, genealogy in Florida, and email in North Carolina. Music and the Mac will play out in Michigan and Photoshop will come into focus in Georgia.
The unusual events? How about an Earth Day theme in Wisconsin, a ten-minute show and tell in Ohio and a crawfish boil in Louisiana.
What’s your group cooking up for your upcoming meetings? To have your meetings on the menu for The MUG Event Calendar and in our weekly Briefing, email the details to The MUG Center.
