News, Info & Upcoming Events for Pajamaworkers in Malaysia

While working alone, or in a small group, especially at home offers us maximum independence, and many other benefits, one of the obvious cons is the fact that we'll be alone most of the times -- and this can really bore many of us, extremely!

How do we know what people really are talking about, and acting like at present times? What's really hot and cool out there? Well, there are forums, and news sites that can feed us with overloads of information, but, nothing beats talking and reaching out to a real person, in person. That's why many homeworkers are fans of business meet-ups and events. One independent consultant by profession, whom I met in an IBM-sponsored seminar in Penang told me, "I'm a regular to these kind of events. This is what we consultants do during our free time."

I'm no stranger to conferences, seminars, expositions, workshops etc. too. One of the first business events I attended was the popular COMDEX in Chicago, back in 1998. When I returned to Malaysia, I became a regular to dozens of other events including the ones sponsored or organized by Microsoft, IBM, Sun, DPMM, Perda, MeCD, PNB, MDeC, YADIM and many others. Not only you get to listen to cool informative talks by great speakers, you'll also be able to collect cool books and plethora of giveaways made available at events like these -- Some prices (i.e. from lucky draws) even come with price tags like 5-6 digit, like a car or a high-end computer server! I wasn't extremely lucky, but I recently won a cool software worth over RM1,000 from Microsoft (beats going home, empty handed or with cheap toys, after spending some considerable money for petrol, tolls, phone/internet/fax, bus/air tickets, or even the registration fees for the particular event...)!

We at Pajamanation Malaysia like these informative and productive events so much, we'd like more and more people to join them too. At least, by keeping you up-to-date with news, happenings and event announcements around the country...
