Hey there Media Leaders,

It’s been almost 6 months since our last networking event. We’re excited to get back to our roots and meetup with 100 of our closest friends in marketing, advertising and tech as we all make new connections and discuss the state of the industry. There will be cocktails, socializing and mingling with key influencers.

6-7 p.m. Speaker panel with cash bar
7-8 p.m. Extended Happy Hour and networking
Specials: 50% off select drinks and free appetizers for Happy Hour patrons
Name Badges: We’re going to get down, Austin-style, and do a little recycling. If you have a badge, name-tag, foam finger or tattoo from a previous event with your name on it, please bring it! If you don’t have one, make one. In fact, our only rule is… don’t show up without a name badge. If we have to break out a sharpie, you’re buying a round of drinks. We think this is a great way to kick off some conversation and save a little paper.

Congrats to our newest city, Raleigh, NC. In just FOUR hours the Raleigh community pushed over 55 retweets and accumulated over 100 RSVP’s on the main website. Even now, after three weeks, the Raleigh Media Leaders page has been retweeted over 140 times and it has received a Topsy “Top 5K” badge. This is an unprecedented outcome and Raleigh memebers proved to be the most viral out of the national group (That’s right LA, SF and NYC, they beat you BIG TIME…)
