Lunch 2.0 ‘Web Expo’ Blowout at Hitachi Data Systems
As the Online Community Manager, I’m hosting the next Lunch 2.0 at my work at Hitachi Data Systems! I want to build a community with folks I know best –web folks. My company is really behind me, and I’ve even got the support of our CEO for this blowout web expo.We have a HUGE facility in our headquarters, (pics) and can fit a few hundred web geeks, we’ll also let folks check out our plush briefing center for customers –if you want to know more about data storage, you can check out the Data Industry Wiki, or visit our Data Storage Forums, or even learn from our Expert Bloggers on data storage.
Three way Learning
1) Web Companies will show off their stuff and build community
2) We, at Hitachi will learn more about the Web Industry
3) Web Companies will learn more about us

[…] Close on the heels of my Stupid 2.0 post, here’s an invitation to a Bay Area geek/marketing fest being put together by my good friend Jeremiah at Hitachi Data Systems. For those who’re wondering, what the heck is Lunch 2.0? Here’s a primer: It’s a Web Expo and a free lunch all rolled into one! Check out ten web companies that will show off their data-intensive websites at this upcoming Lunch 2.0 –and yes, this is a free event to all attendees and exhibitors. It’s all happening on Tuesday, September 12th. […]
[…] I’m practicing what I’m preaching, as I’m only using social media tools to get the word out, blogs, (see who’s blogged about it) word of mouth, and a few followup emails or invites to key members of the community (zero dollar marketing). I also believe in giving to the community, and they’ll embrace back, hopefully the web community will see and appreciate this. Soon I’ll be making a decision regarding some of the last companies that will show off at the expo at no charge, stay tuned. If you can’t make it, the event will be full documented via flickr, and videos. Last events we’re chronicled here on this video (love the music) and here on Flickr. […]
Sure…forget that I mentioned it as well…;-)

Last but not least, the host bloggers at Hitachi Data Systems are also helping to spread the news, such as CTO Hu Yoshida, Chris Salazar, Julio Garcia, and Community Manager Jeremiah Owyang. […]
Jeremiah,
Lunch was great today. Nice to meet, face-to-face, after enjoying your blog for so long, and a terrific way to show off the power of connecting a community via social media. Thank you on all counts. I’ll be back to discuss guest speakers for my class at Stanford. Best, Robin
