On November 3, 2006, I delivered my half-day AIRT (Advanced Internet Research Techniques) seminar in Victoria, British Columbia. The event: a Professional Development course for the Certified General Accountants of British Columbia (CGA BC).What a GREAT time! The accountants had tons of excellent questions and were particularly intrigued by Google Answers, a Google service where live researchers answer questions on virtually any topic for a fee. I discussed the pros and cons of the service, highlighted some specific accounting questions that had been asked and posted (albeit temporarily) on the information exchange, and recommended ways they could use this e-tool in their accounting operations.
Special thanks goes to Ruth Bornhauser, CGA-BC Administrator of Professional Development Events, for organizing the presentation. This was the third seminar that I had delivered for Ruth and the CGA BC in 2006, and as always, the event was first class all the way. Especially superb was the seminar room which had a stunning view of Victoria harbour (see above photo). Before the presentation, I just stood in front of the window and gawked for, like, 15 minutes to soak in the sight. Amazing! What a panaromic view of an incredibly beautiful city (which, by the way, was voted the third most beautiful centre in the Americas in the 2006 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards).
Thanks to all those who attended and for all your kind words.
