May 23rd, 2009, HMAUS is putting on their annual MacSpringfest. This year will be at JAIMS in Hawaii Kai (Google maps). There is plenty of parking and lots of activities planned, so you can stay for the day or as long as you can. The event is FREE — though to help support the HMAUS organization, please renew your membership, or sign up as a member. (More membership details about HMAUS (Hawaii Mac & Apple User Society, Inc.) can be found HERE.)
The full list of speakers is HERE — highlights include; Peter Kay, Andy Bumatai, and Bert Lum on topics like iLife ’09, Mac 101, Adobe Lightroom, and Social Networks and Livefeeds. You may want to arrive a little early for some of the speakers to get a good seat. The JAIMS buildings will be filled with Mac enthusiasts, experts, and “switchers” (PC users just starting to use Macs). So, no matter YOUR level of expertise, you’ll find someone there to learn and chat with.
You should bring some money with you, especially if you like bargains. The Professional Photographers of Hawaii and HMAUS will have a swapmeet — expect to find goodies for cameras and computers. And, if you plan to stay the entire day, order a little bit for the tasty bento meals now: link is HERE.
If you like to blog, bring your camera and computer to capture the events. HMAUS sponsored HawaiiGeekWeek last year and brought out lots of social networking fans; posting to Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and videoblogs. We’re hoping to see lots of great posts about “MacSpringFest” this year!
As with HMAUS’s Mactoberfest, there will be some fun prizes and giveaways, and this time someone will win an iPod Touch!
If you’d like to volunteer to make this years MacSpringfest the best ever, just let us know, we could sure use extra help!
That’s pretty much it, be sure to review the days events HERE so you don’t miss the topics you are most interested in. Tell a friend and see you there!
