With Apple inviting iPhone devs to join the Tech Talk World Tour, TUAW gives word that the Mac maker has also announced plans to host seven seminars across the U.S, targeting IT managers, administrators, server architects, technology coordinators, etc. The focus will be the Snow Leopard Server, with hardware and software overviews, as well as discussions of setup, administration, and integration of the company’s most powerful server operating system yet.

“Snow Leopard Server makes it easier than ever for people to collaborate, communicate, and share information,” Apple reveals on its website, under Education. “Before you know it, your organization will be exchanging files with each other, collaborating on projects, accessing information remotely, creating and distributing podcasts, and more.
