Tonight I was at a #W2P event that I was co-organizing with two great colleagues. The event was at Milestones on Wellington, near the Rideau Centre. It was one of the most attended events we've had so far, I've only seen maybe 2 or 3 events that had more people. However, I noticed something really interesting about tonight, I was surprised to see a lot of new faces, people that I had not met before. It was nice to see people coming up to me and saying thanks for organizing this event. I worked the room and talked to a variety of people. I am very happy, as my two other organizers should be about this event, as it was truly a social networking event! I figured I'd add some images from the evening, including my favorite name badge, aka Twitter handle and three random facts about yourself. At the last meetup, it was suggested that people add three random facts about yourself. These are nice as they are possible conversation starters for people moving around the room and not just wondering who'se that person via their Twitter name. Here are my photos:
I like my buddy Cameron is waving hello in this one!
And my favorite photo of the evening was a friend, who had the most creative way of adding her Twitter handle, and notes, with a nice little bird, quite stylish!
After work, I headed over to the Ark Hotel Lounge for a #W2P event. It was a nice return to the Ark Lounge, where so many meetup's have taken place in the past. It brought back some old memories. I took a few photos within the Ark, but by no means taking advantage of the great retro-modern look of the hotel. I just sat in my little corner and took a few photos, chatted with a few people who passed by, and enjoyed the after work gathering.
