One of the things I do for my sins (many and varied the must be) is lead the London Small Business IT Pro Group. We have a great treat for you all this month!

We have two guest speakers this month hot on the heels of their presentations at SMB Nation, Amsterdam.

- Karl Palachuk (Sacramento SBS Partner Group leader & author of the “Network Documentation Workbook”)

- Matthew Dickerson (one of Australia’s leading SBS partners & rated as #1 in Harry Brelsford's bright blue “Making it Big in Small Business” book covering 15 of the top SBS partners worldwide)

Basically, these guys are some of the best SBS partners in the world (up there with Harry Brelsford) & will be giving their time freely as special guests at the London, Thames Valley & Midlands SBS Partner Groups.  Perfect opportunity for us to learn from the best (about their business models, not just technical stuff).

Both Karl and Matthew are experts in providing Managed Services to their clients as well as having a wealth of experience in running an SME Consultancy.

Both will be doing short introductions and then it will be an open mic session, so bring along your questions!

Come along and bring a friend!

I am also expecting Bruce Lynn Head of UK Server Business Group from Microsoft to be at the meeting too, so if you want to buttonhole him about anything server-related here's your opportunity!!

The meeting will be start at 5:30pm Monday 10th April at Microsoft House, 10 Great Pulteney Street, London, W1F 9NB. Drinks and food (I've been promised more than pizza this month!) will be served and the meeting will finish around 9:00pm in time for those who travel any distance to get away and for the locals to retire to the pub :-) If you could let me know you are coming that might be useful.
