Drawing for an invitation to Seattle Business Monthly's reception in honor of Seattle's Top 25 Innovators.
Dan and I were recognized in the feature article of the October 2008 issue of Seattle Business Monthly - as amongst the region's Top 25 Innovators. As a thank you to our community, we're inviting two Supporting Members to accompany Dan I and Biznik's lead developer, John Adair, to a reception hosted by Seattle Business Monthly in honor of the 25 Innovators on October 15 at the Space Needle.
The two Supporting Members will be selected by a drawing at this VIP Event. Those interested in attending the October 15 reception may enter the drawing by putting their business card in a bowl. Drawing will take place at 6:30pm. You must be present to win.
What is Supporting Membership?
Supporting Members of Biznik (marked with a gold star) have elected to upgrade their membership level for $24/month. In addition to exclusive Supporting Member-only events like this one, Supporting Members receive all the enhanced profile features available to Active ($10) Members, and benefit from premier visibility inside the Biznik community.
What does this translate to? Our reports show that on average Supporting Members receive 26 times more traffic from Biznik.com to their own web sites than Basic (free) Members.

Wow! I have to take my kid to an appointment in Belltown...I usually sit around and read magazines while I wait. This sounds MUCH better! Super-stoked to finally get to attend my very first Biznik Event.

What a great event! It was terrific meeting bizniks I haven't met before, and connecting fellow bizniks to one another (that always feels so good to introduce two people who have a need in common).
What's more, it was a great space to connect further with people I have met, but haven't had a chance to really talk with for any length of time.
The setting at Twist is very condusive to networking, socializing, and finding out more about individuals who pique your interest.
There's a roomy, quieter, talking space with couchy benches and a huge window on the sound, and the darker, standing up and rubbing elbows bar space (which is also very roomy). With two connected, but very different spaces, bizniks can choose their setting to make the most of all possible connections.
Plus, the bartender, Jerry, is super friendly and the waitress, Taylor, did her best to serve everyone all at once with style and a smile; she served all 54 guests. Go biznik!
