How to get involved – a call for volunteers!

INETA relies heavily on the ideas, personal time, and energy of its membership, leaders, and officers. If you are a user group leader – or even an enthusiastic supporter of the .NET user community looking for a way to help, grow with your peers, and find out about volunteer opportunities. To volunteer email apac.ugrelations@ineta.org

Sponsorships

INETA relies on the support of its sponsors, and is presently organizing plans for working with companies and organizations interested in partnering with INETA APAC for financial, logistical, content, or other types of support. If you are interested in partnering with INETA APAC, contact apac.marketing@Ineta.org.

To practice what it preaches, INETA Internet presence is based on all the latest Microsoft .NET products, architectures, and technologies. Through this site, user group leaders will find not only excellent information to help make their own group a success and ways to contribute to the success of the .NET community, but will also have an opportunity to see some of the latest .NET technologies in action.
