2.Ohio - Grassroots efforts gets it done - register now for what could be the largest preelection tech event in the country

A few weeks ago I got a email from an old friend introducing me to someone whom she thought I had some common interests. That conversation led to another conversation which fast forwards to us a incredible event on Oct 10 that is being put together by a small group of grass roots volunteer. Don't wait to register as seats are limited.

As a special incentive to spread the word, whomever is noted (in the registration questions) as having referred the most registrants will be invited to a special post event reception.

Mark your calendar for October 10, 2008 at the Hilton Polaris! A star-studded lineup of technology innovators is coming to Columbus to discuss not only the future of Web 2.0, but also how the upcoming election may greatly affect what they do and how they do it. This event is free but registration is requested. We do promise advanced registrants preferred seating so I encourage you to register today! Come hear what these innovators see as the next big thing, and why they believe Barack Obama’s technology policy plan is the right plan to help them get it done.
