PLEASE NOTE: Starting in March, the 150 rsvp's is a hard number (and accounts for no-shows). We've run for 3+ years without being so strict, but as of late, we've been larger than capacity. Please only RSVP if you're sure your coming. If you didn't make the RSVP for this meetup, you can signup for the next one on first Wednesday of each month (get in before the automatic newsletter goes out). I like to keep this meetup at 150 or smaller to ensure it's intimate and comfortable (and avoid making it feel like a conference). I have worked hard to keep a meetup of this size free to all.

yidaNice to get back to the meetup. Since the group was quite big, I feel a bit difficult to be connected with the members. Maybe just me. I always feel that small group is earlier to connect to :) -
Stephanie VargoI really liked the fast paced agenda. Each company had enough time to get their main points across and to answer questions. There were interesting companies presenting and having an "expert" session where SEO tips and tricks were shared was also really helpful. I liked the fact that people from the audience were able to come up at the end to highlight what they were looking for or to advertise a program they were running. The only downside was the lack of space to hold everyone.

DebExcelllent networking event. Enjoyed having the special interest topic as well. I learn something new every time.
-
Lyn WilliamsThis was an excellent meet up, the companies presenting were far enough along they really had some great products to offer, yet still developing and talking about what is to come. Attending a meetup like this, it's clear why so many great things come from the Silicon Valley.

Chuck JonesThe format is great with 5 minute presentations/
demos and 5 minute Q&A. Good range of companies, especially Hollrr.com.

Charles JohnsonBoy, there are a lot of people competing to be your web portal. It's like 1500 versions of AOL. What goes around comes around. I know that's unfair, and I'm sure these are all "tailored and personal" AOLs, but the great extinction event is going to entail widespread obliteration of myriads of painstakingly constructed architectures occupying the nearly-identical space.
