WHIR Networking Event - Toronto, January 29
We want to make sure everyone out there knows about the first of our upcoming series of WHIR networking events, particularly those of you in Toronto.
First off, the registration link is right here.
The first event takes place in just a few weeks in Toronto, Ontario on January 29, 2009.
These events are going to be modestly sized, so we expect them to fill up fast. Register as soon as you can (right now, for instance) to make sure you have a spot at the event.
Our plan with the events is to provide a venue in which you can do business, make contacts, learn about some of the colleagues operating in your local area and have a little fun while you’re at it.
These events are financed by sponsors (in the case of the Toronto event, GigaPark), which means they are free to attend, and that food and drinks will also be free.
The Toronto event will be held from 7:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. at Maro, a very nice spot in Liberty Village. Click here for more info on the venue and schedule, including a map.
We hope to see you there. Make sure you sign up as soon as possible to reserve your spot.
