It’s been a week already, I know, but rest assured it has been an extremely busy week for me, or you would have seen this blog post much sooner.
We had a great time heading down to Chicago last week to hold the most recent of our WHIR Networking Events – the fourth in the series, and another really successful showing. We had a great turnout, and a great time, thanks once again to our sponsors: GigaPark (www.gigapark-va.com) OpenSRS (www.opensrs.com), Parallels (www.parallels.com) and Mezeo Software (www.mezeo.com).
And once again, our sponsors set a few lucky attendees up with some very cool prizes, via a draw held during the event. Winners are listed below.
Daniel Salcedo from SingleHop won a Flip video recorder from Mezeo.
Keith Gerald from DPSciences Corporation won an Internet radio from OpenSRS.
Christopher Niedojadlo from Carat Networks won a Flip video recorder from Parallels.
Tad Deriso of GigaPark was on the road and unable to attend (and consequently unable to give away a prize) but GigaPark’s support as a sponsor was nonetheless invaluable.
I’ve put about ten pictures I took at the event up on the website. A couple of them are a little bit blurry, so my apologies for that, but this was by far the darkest venue we’ve had and the most difficult in which to take pictures.
As you can see from the content of the pictures, however, the darkness didn’t get in the way of a good party. You can see the rest of the pictures in the WHIR Photos section of the website.
We’re heading down two New York City in approximately two weeks (May 6) to host another WHIR Networking Event. I’ve grown accustomed to good times, and I expect nothing less from New York. In fact, I might begin to expect more.
You don’t want to miss that. So I’d advise you to head over and sign up for the WHIR Networking Event – New York City. See you there.
