pInOy MeD [it] tEcH: @ the Office 2013 Community Meetup

August 4, 2012 MAKATI CITY - The next Microsoft Office is just around the corner and on its way to amaze us in its new features! To celebrate it’s new milestone being reach the Costumer Preview (Beta). The we mount up another community meetup to introduce the new Microsoft Office.

The meetup was held at The University of Makati and attended by around 170 community members. There are 352 registrants to the event but since it was raining that day it was expected that some of them might not come and 170 is a good number.

The event was hosted by John Erwin Magno (PowerPoint MVP) and Eufer Pasion (Windows MVP). While the event’s main topic is all about office I was given a 20 minutes slot to do a presentation and live demo on Windows 8. Erwin on the other hand did a demo and discussion on what’s new and what the new Microsoft Office have to offer. Young and eager community members (mostly students) was really amazed on the new Office and of course a meetup will not conclude without games and raffle prizes too.

The event was also graced by the Lead for the Microsoft Office Division in the person of Mr. Tovia Va’aelua. Thanks Mr. T.
