The Technology Special Interest Group (Tech SIG) focuses on the “nuts and bolts” of implementing and optimizing tools and technology for your speaking business.  Complimenting the Sales SIG, which often spotlights the “what” and “why”, the Tech SIG spotlights the “how”.  Meetings highlight a single topic with a guest presenter, then offer a short “members helping members” open question & answer session.

The Tech SIG meets virtually on the 1st Wednesday of each month 4-5pm PT.  Attendance is free and is open to NSA NW and WCA members.  Registration is encouraged but not required.
