Hosting an Extreme Makeover

Here's an idea for pumping up some attention for your business.

Stuart Crawford's team put a lot of work into creating their own "Technology Makeover" event. Obviously, a lot of work went into lining this up. Perhaps Stuart will write up a white paper on how to create a Technology Makeover event!

From his announcement:

IT Matters would like to announce the launch of our 2008 Calgary Extreme Office Technology Makeover contest. This event will see one lucky Calgary Small Business win $50,000 in new technology and support from IT Matters and the Calgary Chamber of Commerce. This contest is open to all small businesses throughout the city of Calgary who feel it is time for a change on how they use technology inside their business.

With great sponsorship from:

DELL Canada
Microsoft Canada
SonicWALL
Acronis
Kapsersky Lab
itControl Suite
APC
Research in Motion
Syspine
eKzact Solutions
Clearpath SEO
Abcan Audio Visual and
many more great sponsors

The winning Calgary small business will have the ultimate small business computer network and business solution to drive them forward in 2009.

Solutions ranging from:

Windows Small Business Server 2008 (officially to be launched Nov 12, 2008)
Windows Vista
Office Professional 2007
Blackberry
DELL Vostro Workstations
