[Hidden-tech] Hidden-Tech Social on Jan 12 + IT Failures Event on Jan 7 in Boston

[Jon Reed]

Hey folks..hope you're enjoying the holiday season.

I have two events to tell you about.

One is our Hidden Tech January social, coming right up on January 
12th at the Yellow Sofa.

I will include some details on that below.

The second is an event a colleague of mine is hosting in Boston on 
January 7th on IT Project Failures in Town Hall format. Both events 
are free, more details on this event below as well, or you can see a 
link for that one: http://blogs.zdnet.com/projectfailures/?p=1179

Both events are free of charge.

So, for our January 12th event, following is a draft of the event 
info that we are still refining for an official mailing, but I wanted 
to make sure those who are interested in coming can mark their calendars:

"With Kwanzhanukamass behind us and the long wait for Spring ahead of 
us, get thee to a cozy, HT socializing event on January 12th.

Join your fellow Hidden Techies at the Yellow Sofa Cafe and Card shop 
in Downtown Northampton, where you can sip and schmooze and browse 
the enormous collection of cards.  It's the perfect place for an HT 
life with WiFi, strong coffee, tasty treats and no obligation 
networking.  Hidden Tech socials are always, well... social.  So 
please, join us after work for a sip and a schmooze at the Yellow 
Sofa, 24 Main St. Northampton.

OK, so for the details on the free IT Failures Town Hall Event in 
Boston on January 7th:

This event is being hosted by a colleague of mine, Michael Krigsman, 
who does a blog on ZDnet that I find to be very useful. Michael 
mostly writes about IT on the enterprise level, but if that's your 
market space, I find him to be a relevant voice. CRM author and 
blogger Paul Greenberg will be hosting this interactive, 
discussion-based event.

Although this event is also free, registration is required. This link 
will get you more details on the event and also to a link to the 
registration page:

Hope your holiday season is going well whether you are with loved 
ones or not....I look forward to seeing you at the January event.
