Tech Break Time

Since January 2002, NEOnet has been hosting monthly technology awareness luncheons in Timmins and throughout the region. NEOnet believes that if people don't know about the uses and benefits of information technology, they won't adopt it. Once they realize the benefits, they are more likely to purchase a computer and subscribe to the internet at home or at work, therefore stimulating demand for these essential services.

Tech Break Times are hosted from September to June, usually on the 4th Tuesday of the month. To find out about the upcoming Tech Break Times, to be added to our distribution list or to speak at one of our events, contact Alexandra Spence at (705) 360-1353 x1
