I’m in Los Angeles (I guess, technically, I’m in Santa Monica), gearing up for tonight’s WHIR Networking Event, and gearing down, if there is such a thing, from the WHIR Webinar with VMOps that concluded about 40 minutes ago.
The webinar, in my opinion, went excellently, and should be available on our webinars archive page sometime next week, if you didn’t attend. But this whole paragraph, of course, is a digression from the true purpose of this particular blog post.
There is still time to sign up for tonight’s Networking Event in L.A. – the first of an exciting series of ten events we’ve got planned for 2010, and the return to the scene (if not the exact venue) of a great event in 2009. We’ve got a lot of response so far for tonight, but I don’t think there’s any risk of us over-filling the place, so anyone who was on the fence about attending, I’m here to provide you with a little extra encouragement.
How am I going to do that? Well, I was going to promise to be your best friend, but let’s be honest, I live in Canada. You live in LA. How is that really going to work? So let’s just say I’ll be your good friend.
Also, prizes!
As I have mentioned quite a few times the past, these events are free to attend, and furnished with free food and drinks, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, every one of which will be giving away an excellent door prize tonight, which, depending on how you evaluate the dollar value of my friendship might be even more of an enticement to attend.
OpenSRS (which has signed on as our first title sponsor for the year’s entire series of ten events) is giving away an OpenSRS prize pack; Net2EZ will be giving away a Sony PSP; eNom will be giving away an $100 Amazon gift certificate; Telx will be giving away a Flip video camera; AutmaticSiteMap will be giving an Enterprise AutomaticSiteMap Certificate to every attendee, as well as a bottle of wine to each of six winners; and GIGLINX will be giving away a vintage bottle of wine.
The event starts at 7:00 p.m. and goes until 10:00 p.m., and will take place at the Air Conditioned Supper Club, located at 625 Lincoln Blvd. in Venice. More information about the event is available, understandably, at the event information page on this site. Head over to the info site, and you can still submit an RSVP for this evening’s event.
See you there.
