VANTUG at Cranium

  As a special write up, I’d like to take the time to draw attention to one of the Cranium’s associates and the work and events they do. Specifically, the Vancouver Technology User’s Group (VANTUG) has held meetings at the Cranium and AtlasCloud space in previous months – and they have another meeting coming up on November 12th, which will be held at the Cranium.

VANTUG began originally as the Vancouver NT Users Group back in 1996. The idea of VANTUG has always been the sharing of information and hosting tutorials for Information Technology Professionals, by Information Technology Professionals.

So what exactly is it that VANTUG does? What is the information that it shares and runs tutorials on? In short, VANTUG is for PC Informational Technology professionals, and its creation was spurred by Microsoft’s ubiquity and rapid growth throughout the world. As well, as time goes on, older Microsoft products are rendered obsolete, and newer products are subject to different issues. At the same time, there arises opportunities for expanded uses of products that might not be apparent to those who could benefit greatly from them. Befitting their collaborative nature, VANTUG membership is free and open to anyone who feels that they could benefit from it. In order to bring those interested in this education together, VANTUG holds meetings for all those interested, with these meetings now taking place at The Cranium. Their next event is going to occour on November 12th, in the evening from 6:30 to 8:30. For this event, VANTUG is having Yaroslav Pentarskyy speak on Azure, specifically on Azure Machine Learning and Azure websites. Yaroslav Pentarskyy himself is an author of four SharePoint books, a group manager at Avanade and Microsoft MVP since 2009.
