BCBSM and Focus: Hope In-Studio Tonight, Pink Slip Party Announcement and More for 2/22/2014

Tonight is episode 132 of our weekly live podcast broadcast, and we’ve got a couple pretty cool guests joining us.  We’re also just a couple weeks away from our first Pink Slip Party event of the year, and so now’s the time to mark your calendars and get engaged for what’s sure to be another phenomenal event down at the Majestic.  We’ve of course also got some blog entries for you to read and more…

EventNewspaper_MarPSP2016Like we usually do, we start with our next upcoming in-person event.  On Thursday, March 10, 2016, we’ll return to The Majestic Theater for one of our larger, more jobs-focused events.  As with previous years, we’ll have a limited number of tables available for a few companies who want to have a larger presence at the event.  Check out our Sponsors page – https://itinthed.com/sponsors/ – for details, and then drop us a note – https://itinthed.com/contact-us/

A whole bunch of information has been put out at https://itinthed.com/18385/pink-slip-party-march-10-2016/ if this is your first one.

Tonight we’re joined by returning guest Leo Barella, CTO of BCBSM, to talk about technology innovation, as well as first time guests from Focus:Hope to discuss their apprentice program for those looking to get into the IT industry.

Mics go live at 9pm like always, so join us by listening live from 9pm to 11pm, and then hit us up by firing up Twitter and hitting @ITintheD during the show…and our phone line is up and operational as well.  We love audience participation, so come along and play with us!
