Upcoming Blogger Dinner in Boston: Oct 18th (Sponsored by EMC)

(Left Image: Gil Roberts of PodTech, Len Devanna and I hang out at PodTech. Oh hey Gil, I’m using the camo pack every day!)

I’ll be in Boston, Cambridge to be specific, at Forrester new hire and Analyst training for a few weeks, and want to take the time to meet the community in Boston that I plan to serve…the Web Community! I’ve helped kick off dinners all around the globe for social media folks, and am finally glad to meet folks in this region.

A few weeks ago, Len from EMC was very interested in meeting Scoble and I, and drove over an hour from the Pleasanton office to meet us. He’s EMC’s Web Strategist, and will be one of the folks leading the social media arena. I know his space well, as I lead the program for HDS, who’s in the same market. Len told me that EMC would really benefit from a community event, so I suggested to let him help organize and sponsor the upcoming event. His hard work will pay off, after selecting a venue and offering to pay for drinks and appetizers, he’s pleased to announce the upcoming dinner.

Please note, with all community events I organize (sponsor or not) there will be no pitching, poaching, or hard demos or sales, the focus is on community.

Who should come? Anyone who cares about the web industry, bloggers, and social media folks. If you can make it, please sign up on the wiki, please note that there’s a limit on how many can attend, so put your name down.

Thank you EMC for sponsoring the dinner!

Update: How many startups are there in Boston? My former PodTech boss John Furrier has a surprisingly large list.
