AppleMac Users Group Wednesday Workshop
When: Wednesday 3rd June
Time: 12:30pm – 2:30pm
Presenter: Bruce Ralph
Location: Anvil House, Level One, Room 2
Apple Notes, Reminders, Calendars apps
This workshop is all about helping you take your knowledge to the next level. Apple Notes, Reminders, and Calendar form a connected productivity system across Apple devices, allowing users to capture ideas, manage tasks, schedule events, and stay organised throughout the day.
Together they support personal planning, work projects, shopping lists, appointments, collaboration, and time management while automatically syncing through iCloud between Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
These workshops are ideal for those seeking a deeper understanding of the applications and features available on their Mac, iMac or MacBook and (sometimes) iPad.
Workshops are informal and designed to encourage conversation and collaboration among participants. Feel free to bring your MacBook to follow along with the presentation.
