“ Others should join up because any marketplace of ideas is a great opportunity to discuss and learn from one another. The provided food/beverage was a great way to get people to show up. That being said, I feel that some people just showed up for the free stuff. I talked to some people that seemed very vanilla about the whole thing. Casual connect seemed like it was more successful in the sense that all of the people that were there really wanted to make business deals and/or share their stories and ideas. Maybe if they had more of the "workshop" aspect (or demonstrations) they were talking about in future meet ups, it would grab a bigger audience and gain more relevant support. It would certainly convince me to show up for the next one. ”

“ I'm not sure. It said in the description "The event is from 7-10 with food and drink provided".... Provided you brought a fat check book! We stood in a line for 45 minutes simply to get a shitty lanyard. What was the point of that torture? We would have ordered food, since the description lied to us, but with dinners starting at $12 for a freakin' sandwich, forget it! I learned nothing, met a bunch of weridos, and had a couple drinks that cost me $20. ”
