Announcing NYEBN's 1st digital media networking event. We host this type of event because there is a large demand for it. The event is meant to be free, but we need your commitment for it. Here is how it works:
1. PayPal Payment/Refund
A small fee of $5 needs to be deposited in order to RSVP for the event. We will refund you the $5 fee if you do the following:
A. Show up at the event
B. Write your PayPal email address on the back of your business card
C. Drop your card in the bucket
If you do not pay in advance via PayPal, it's $10 at the door for admission.
2. Attendees
Please note this is not a pitching type of event. Instead, we are creating an environment where you can connect with the right people in the media and tech industries to assist you with your businesses. Let's keep the discussion focused on digital media only for this type of event. If you fall into any of the following categories, you should come:
PR 2.0/Marketing 2.0 agents
Publishers
Editors for publication firms (NY Times, WSJ, etc...)
Bloggers/podcasters/video bloggers
Social media lovers/experts
Tech startups
Tech geeks
App developers (Facebook, iPhone, etc...)
Journalists
Speakers/authors
Web 2.0 evangelists
Freelancers
Internet marketers
SEO'ers
Graphic designers
Advertisers
E-commerce site owners
Website developers
Meetup/event organizers
VCs/Angel investors
Internet entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs looking for funding
Business consultants
Idea generators/thinkers
etc...
There might be other categories that I left out, but you get the idea. If you do not have a business related to digital media, you are welcome to show up if you just want to learn and get connections.

Hey Andrew and NYEBN guest...Unfortunately I've had a pre set business appt. tonight with a group of doctors down in Toms River, NJ to review their retirement plans, the life and disability insurance coverage and the other plans I set up for them. They are also writing me more checks tonight. I don't think it's possible I could make this function tonight. Next time.
