When a good friend of mine, Kurt Daradics, gave me a call and asked if I would help him organize a tech holiday party, I have to admit, I was a bit reluctant – time has been a bit tight lately. But, when he shared his vision for connecting pioneers of 1.0 with the catalysts for 2.0 wrapped in a holiday theme, I was more than inspired to contribute.
His vision: The Digital Family Reunion (DFR).
On Thursday, December 11th from 5:00pm to 10:00pm, the Digital Family Reunion is uniting Southern California technology and business communities for the holidays at the Skirball Cultural Center. In association with some of the region’s top trade associations and real world social networks, the DFR will reignite old relationships, spark new alliances, and set the stage to kick off 2009 with a bright new hope and a headstart.
The DFR creates the optimum conditions for 1.0 + 2.0 to synergize with one another and inspire opportunities that will serve our industries, our region, and our society at large.
“If we knew how connected we all are, how would that change everything?”
Join us for this unique business networking event, which includes a leadership panel forecasting 2009, a conversation with the recipient of the DFR “Outstanding Achievement Honor”, promotion of an important non-profit initiative, showcase tables from over 25 technology associations and networking groups, entertainment and much more.

Brian- Thanks so much friend no doubt for the shout out!
We’re having fun enrolling folks to rally around possibilities that resonate with social enterprise. Folks like you really help advance the conversation, and so again thank you.
We are looking to get 100 video comments to the question “If we knew how connected we all are, how would that change everything?” so we can edit into short that we show at the family reunion fyi~
c’mon!

The Digital Family Reunion was a great success from my perspective.
