Jobnob is Heading to Seattle Next Week!

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

jobnob-psn-logo1So we are getting our things in order to head to Seattle next week for our very first Jobnob Professional Success Network Seattle Happy Hour.  We have already had five very successful events in the Bay Area (with our sixth this Thursday with Cal Jobnob-Berkeley Happy Hour), but this will be our first time having an event outside of Northern California.  It will actually be my first time in Seattle, and I’m excited to get to know the start up and tech community up there as it seems like a very vibrant community.  Our events here in the Bay Area have been very well-attended and the feedback we’ve received has been terrific.  People are finding great companies and great people.  We know of companies who have found CTO c0-founders, engineers, business development executives and marketing pros.  We’re hoping for the same great crowd in Seattle.  We have the top schools promoting the Seattle event to their alums including:  Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Yale, UPenn, Northwestern, UMichigan, UWashington and the list goes on and on.

While I was searching for places to stay in Seattle, I came across a nifty little website called  Dealbase that says they find the bdealbase1est deals and then compare them for you.  I checked out their section on Seattle hotels and actually found their deals to be very good.  I was looking for a good site to tell me what to do in Seattle, but then I realized that unfortunately I’m not going to be there long enough to be able to see anything.  I’m a little disappointed tough that I won’t get to see the Space Needle, and some other things, like the Klondike Gold Rush Museum sounded (strange but) fun.  So I guess that means that I’ll just have to come back to Seattle at some point!

If you haven’t registered for the Seattle Jobnob PSN Happy Hour there’s still time!  But hurry up, space is limited.
