The Technical Local Interest Group, or TECH LIG, is a component of the Austin PMI Chapter and provides additional opportunities for focused discussions on the topics related to management of technical projects. Its scope includes Information Systems (IS), Information Technology and Telecommunications (ITT), and New Product Development (NPD).

The PMI Austin Chapter TECH LIG provides a forum to
• Share common interests and information
• Provide continuing project management education
• Network with other technical professionals.
 
Meetings are held quarterly over lunch. PDU credit is offered for all TECHLIG meetings. On-line registration is available via the PMI Austin Chapter website.  Information regarding scheduled TECHLIG meetings will be announced on PMI’s netletter and will be posted in the calendar section of the PMI website. 

Starting in 2007, meetings will be held at the TASB (Texas Association of School Boards) building, 12007 Research Blvd, 78759.  Cost for the meeting and lunch will be $12 for PMI members and $15 for non-PMI members. The presentation only cost is $5 for both members and non-members.

One of the Tech LIG’s goals for 2007 is to expand upon the previous series of quarterly presentations to create a shared information forum patterned after our PMO LIG. We will contact and coordinate with the national PMI SIGs (IS, ITT, and NPD) as well as any associated regional LIGs for advice and mentoring. We will also work to identify upcoming professional development opportunities in the Austin area and to communicate those opportunities to LIG members.
