Immersive Internet professional networking event

by Erica Driver and Sam Driver.

Mark your calendars! We have a date and venue for the the first-ever ThinkBalm Innovation Community professional networking event!

• Who: People passionate about work-related use of the Immersive Internet who are looking for a job, looking for someone to fill a job, or simply curious about their options 
• What: First-ever ThinkBalm Innovation Community professional networking event 
• When: Tuesday, Aug. 4th from 11AM-2PM EDT / 8-11AM PT 
• Where: Amazon Developers island in Second Life (thanks to ThinkBalm Innovation Community member Jeff Barr) 
• Why: Make valuable professional connections 
• How to RSVP: Please email us at rsvp@thinkbalm.com. You can also RSVP to the event notice on LinkedIn here and we will follow up with you directly.

Preliminary format for the event (subject to vetting — feel free to post comments here):

• Attendees who have something to share (e.g., their resume or a job description) will sign up in advance to deliver a 5-minute presentation. We’ll use a virtual gong (yes, a gong) to make sure we stay on time. Each presenter will be allowed to use one image or 3D object in support of their presentation. 
• We will have a rapid networking session using a tool called Poinky’s Pods built by ThinkBalm Innovation Community member Jonas Karlsson. The tool seats you with another person for a five-minute exchange, after which all participants are shifted to another random seat. You never know who you’ll end up talking to! 
• We’ll have some kind of solution for people to upload resumes, job descriptions, presentations, etc. . . . and it will all be integrated with LinkedIn.

More details TBD. Hope you can make it!
