Mobile-Technology Educational Event and Mixer - Eastside Net Tuesday

After its energetic public kickoff in March (with presentations from five social media experts), Eastside Net Tuesday (ENT) is holding a mobile-technology themed educational event and mixer on April 5th, 2011, from 7-9 p.m. at Meadowbrook Church in Redmond. Food, drinks, and free parking are provided. Event is all-ages.

We will have presentations from experts in mobile technology, Q&A with the experts, and opportunities for nonprofits and technology volunteers to mix and form matches.  ENT's mission is to connect Eastside nonprofits with technology volunteers and resources to promote human flourishing and positive social change.

We encourage you to converse with one another on Twitter before the event! Our Twitter hashtag is #EastsideNet (click here to see the feed). Tweet who you are, and what tech skill you need or are offering. You can also start the conversation by commenting on this page.

Come early and bring your business cards! The agenda includes the following activities:

• 7:00 p.m.: Sign in, drop off business cards, and mingle
• 7:20 p.m.: Raffle
