Information Technology (IT) related meetup groups and professional computer organizations are an important way for IT professionals to continue their education, earn certificates, network with other like-minded peers, and to get involved in their IT community. These groups provide a tremendous resource for the educators in terms of identifying possible new directions for an IT program. They also serve as a barometer to how the industry is doing as a whole in the region and as way to recruit new and seasoned IT professionals. This is a resource that has been largely untapped by the educational institutions in the Greater Cincinnati Area. This poster session examines the various IT-related organizations.
