RE: [IxDA] NYC Entrepeneurs Want IxDA'ers for Aug. 5th Event!

I encourage people to go as well. I will be there.

Rob.

I'd like to promote an event next Thursday night Aug 5, "Web Design For Startups" [1], where I'll be a panelist along with Christopher Fahey of Behavior Design, Seth Giammanco of Minds On Design Lab,  and Dan Maccarone of Hard Candy Shell. The event is hosted by NYC-based entrepeneur meetup group UltraLightStartups [2].

*About ULS*

Ultra Light Startups™ brings together New York’s most innovative technology entrepreneurs, investors and professional service providers in a dynamic monthly event and accompanying online communities. Events feature pitching, networking and interactive, moderated panel discussions with leading industry experts.

Graham Lawlor, founder of ULS, described the Aug 5 event to me this way:

>"As I mentioned, I am really hoping to make this event a 'matchup'

>style event where designers meet startups and startups meet designers. 

>I know so many ULS members are in dire need of design help.  I'm

>speculating that at least some members of IxDA would be interested in

>working with startups.  We'll be distributing colored dots that

>attendees stick on their name badge to identify startups and designers

>and to facilitate networking.  I know many startups are attending this

>event looking to meet and hire designers. "
