We are now only one week away from the first Silicon Valley Tweetup of 2010. Come join 200 other Twitter-inclined socialites for networking, drinks and fundraising for the Twitterkids of Tanzania.
The event will take place on January 20th in San Jose’s Santana Row from 6-9pm at the V-Bar inside Hotel Valencia. Drinks and food will be provided; all that is asked for is a $10 donation to the charity. A netbook and an iPod touch will also be raffled off to benefit the Twitterkids.
Shel Israel will be attending and signing copies of his newest book ‘Twitterville - How Businesses Can Thrive in the New Global Neighborhoods’. This is the perfect opportunity to connect with Shel in person and pick up a great Twitter resource.
You can RSVP for the event here, and connect with the event organizers Michael Brito, Jennifer Leggio, and Gabriel Carrejo on Twitter.
Be sure to come by and say hi!
Disclaimer: I work for FutureWorks, one of the sponsors of this month’s Silicon Valley Tweetup. I also regularly attend these tweetups, and have a great time.
On Wednesday night in Santana Row’s Hotel Valencia in San Jose, the tech community got together for the second Silicon Valley tweetup. Organized by Michael Brito, attendees had a chance to win several prizes, including one of five signed copies of the soon-to-be released book Twitterville by Shel Israel and also purchase a souvenir t-shirt for $20 with profits from the sales going towards benefiting the Anissa Lopez Foundation, which benefits the George Mark House whose goal is to provide an area to keep families intact while they go through unfortunate extreme circumstances.
Here are some photos from that event:
These were the t-shirts being sold to benefit the Anissa Lopez Foundation being modeled by Rush Dufner, Gabriel Carrejo and Kathy Brito.
The crowd gathered at the top of the Hotel Valencia for the tweetup – it was crowded through the entire night.
