Just landed in New York a couple of hours ago, and I’m just about to get ready for tonight’s WHIR Networking event, which starts in a couple of hours at the lounge The Park.
I have every reason (a list of registered attendees, and some really nice weather, basically) to believe that tonight’s will have the largest attendance of any of the events we’ve held so far.
Before I head over, though, I wanted to take one more opportunity to thank our sponsors for making these events possible. We have a couple of new sponsors (locals, no less) on board for this one, along with a couple sponsors that have been on board for a while.
It’s too late to sign up at this point, but if you signed up and are on the fence about coming, you might be interested to know there are a few very cool prizes being given away.
The sponsors for this particular event include Parallels (www.parallels.com), OpenSRS (www.opensrs.com), New York Internet (www.nyi.net), Atlantic Metro (www.atlanticmetro.com) and Mzima (www.mzima.net). So, if you’re planning to attend, you know who to thank for the good time and the free drinks.
In the “cool prizes” department, Parallels is giving away a Mino Flip HD camera; Open SRS is giving away a Grace Internet wifi radio; New York Internet is giving away a pair of Oakley ROKR PRO Bluetooth sunglasses; Atlantic Metro is giving away a Nabaztag WiFi Rabbit, and Mzima is giving away a nice bottle of wine (sorry, I don’t have a link for this one.
Who doesn’t like prizes? Nobody I want to hang out with. The only thing I don’t find compelling about them is that I, obviously, am not allowed to win them – which is good news for you, technically.
See you there.
