BioBeers ‘09 Report

I have to say that i was a bit overwhelmed with the turn out for BioBeers yesterday.  Overwhelmed and delighted!  The official Cup Count was 117 people, which is fantastic.  Honestly, I stopped counting the RSVP’s after about 90 were sent to me, so i was expecting to break 100 for the first time ever.

I had a great time catching up to old people and making new connections.  I was even called a hero for setting this event up and want to express my sincere thanks to the original BioBeers group in Colorado for giving me the inspiration to start the East Coast chapter.

And also many thanks to James Matan and the Matan Group for sponsoring this event.  I spoke to at least two other companies that want to sponsor future events, which is wonderful.  The plan for ‘09 is to move from quarterly events to bi-monthly (every other month), so next event will be in April.

I’ll leave you with a link to the photo album I posted in Picasa.  I don’t know why, but WordPress won’t let you embed slide shows into a blog post.  If there are any IT geniouses who know how to do it, please drop me a note.

PS: On a separate note, I did learn from a source that shall remain nameless that there is more to the story a RIID regarding the “Shut down for inventory” published in the FNP this week.
