On Tuesday Paul Kent from Macworld Conference and Expo tweeted that they were looking for a few more speakers for the User Conference at Macworld 2011. I replied to Paul’s tweet, and I am happy and honored to announce that I will be a speaker at this year’s Macworld Conference and Expo .

I am really thrilled to have have been invited to speak. This is specially true because I switched to the Mac in late 2005, and have been working hard to learn and teach about all things Macintosh ever since.

My talk is called  “Tell Me Something…I don’t already know about…Spotlight, what you don’t know can cost you time.”  The session will be  January 27, 2011    1:00 PM – 2:15 PM.

During the session we will cover what you do know about Spotlight, but more importantly we will discover Spotlight features that will help you increase your productivity, manage your workflow and use this built in OS X tool to it’s full potential.

This includes, how spotlight works, what Spotlight knows about your “stuff”, using spotlight for more than searches, how we can make Spotlight smarter, as well as more advance search terms within Spotlight. So join me, and learn what you didn’t know about Spotlight. We will also get into some more advance search techniques , and how we can use Spotlight with Mestadata. If you are going to register for the conference enter Priority Code “SPEAKER” at time of registration for a 15% discount of the conference package.

I hope you sign up for the conference, and please come by and say hello if you see me. I’ll be in San Francisco along with George Starcher starting on Tuesday, January 25th. I’ll update the blog with more information as it becomes available. For more information you  can visit www.macworldexpo.com. Hope I see you there.
