BREAKING
Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Virtual Desktop Infrastructures, IPv6, and Mobile Computing thrusts are trending very rapidly. Many individuals we know, small businesses, and affiliated STEM organizations, may no longer thrive when confronted with these disruptive technologies which could adversely affect today's business models and our current way of life. Just how soon will these innovations, Big Data, and Predictive Analytics really become an integral part of society's next BDPA chapter? To that end, this year's 35th Annual National BDPA Technology Conference and Career Expo in Washington, D.C. , from August 13-17, 2013, will appeal most to BDPA Members who have at least a general interest in new and disruptive technologies, exciting new career opportunities, workforce development, and their region's local economy.  It would be helpful to join or start a local BDPA Chapter, renew corporate memberships, and follow Industry trade publications with National BDPA's social media channels. If interested and available, pre-registration with Member Discounts to this year's Conference  is now open. Visit www.bdpa.org for new details and an agenda with exciting sponsorship opportunities to leverage. Partner with us today.
Congratulations CLASS OF 2013 and DR. DARYL STONE!
HSCC, Arriving!
