With Bytes & Bites 2019 quickly approaching, we have important details to pass along. Here’s all the info you need to know to join C Spire at our annual technology solution summit in Birmingham:
What, where, when: On Thursday, April 18, C Spire Business will turn Vulcan Park & Museum into Bytes & Bites Technology Solution Summit, full of BBQ, beer, gourmet ice pops, live music, tech demos, gadget giveaways, and expert technology talks. And thanks to our generous sponsors, it's all free to the public. Pre-register by April 17, or register at the event, which is 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. WiFi is provided by Title Sponsor Cisco.
Bytes & Bites 2019 app: The app is back! Use the app at the event to enter to win door prizes by participating in activities such as visiting vendor booths, meeting our cybersecurity team, and attending presentations. Each stop you make will have a code you'll use in the "gamification" portion of the app. The more points you rack up, the more entries you will receive in the drawing for one of 11 door prizes. You'll also be able to join in group chats, access social media, and provide feedback about the event. Get the app here.
Giveaways: C Spire is handing out more than $1,000 worth of giveaways to our most engaged participants. Prizes will include a Nest Thermostat, Nintendo Switch, Yeti Hopper 40 Cooler, and Apple iPad, among others. Make sure you can start participating as soon as you arrive by getting the app now!
