We got into Los Angeles last night and are doing a bit of preparation in advance of tonight’s WHIR networking event.
Tonight’s event is happening at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. I think it’s a little late to register at this point (it starts in a couple of hours), but if the last two events – in Dallas and New York – are any indication, these events are getting bigger and more successful.
If you’re going to be there tonight, I look forward to seeing you. And I’m expecting an excellent time, courtesy of our excellent sponsors. Remember, these things are really made possible by their sponsorship, so we definitely owe them a thank you.
So, in the context of delivering that thank-you, I wanted to fill everyone in on some of the cool prizes the sponsors will be giving away tonight at the event.
The prize list includes the usual suspects of small and cool modern electronics – along with a few other things – which means that they’re all pretty excellent prizes.
Parallels will be giving away a Flip HD video camera; OpenSRS will have a WiFi Internet Radio to give away; Mzima is bringing a select bottle of wine; BandCon will be giving away an 8GB iPod Touch; Net2ez will give away a Sony PSP; and ActualMetrics, though it hasn’t officially filed its plans, will undoubtedly do something cool.
So bring your business card. That’s how we pick our winners, you see.
Here’s a shot of the sponsor’s table from the New York event, which as you can see had a few different sponsors. Same general idea.
And for those of you still waiting to get to one of these WHIR networking events, we’ve got two more scheduled for the fall, in Miami and in Washington DC. You can check out the schedule and get other information at the events section of the WHIR website.
