Brrcats Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'd be down for something like this, wednesdays arent that good for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'd be down for something like this, wednesdays arent that good for me though. I went with wed. just because it is in the middle of the week and easy to plan around. It sucks because I know some people might be limited on certain days, but we need to plan for the majority. I also thought about Tuesdays or Thursdays if that is better. This is my first time planning an event like this so it might be a bit rough the first go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 What is a networking or linkedin event? and if you guys think I'm kidding I'm not. My life revolves around cars, computers have just become a big part of that, I don't really use technology for much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My life revolves around cars, computers have just become a big part of that, I don't really use technology for much else. Not computer networking, but professional networking. Learning who might have a lead on a job or someone with the skills to fill a job. Basically when people say you have to "know someone" to get hired, this could really help.

Buck531 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 How about Docs place? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 How about Docs place? Just a thought. The issue with Doc's place is the distance on a week night. For someone on the east side that is almost a hour drive, not including traffic at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 maybe somewhere in clintonville? westerville, easton, sawmill, hilliard? guess it would depend on where the majority of people are from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 maybe somewhere in clintonville? westerville, easton, sawmill, hilliard? guess it would depend on where the majority of people are from. We do a lot of work happy hour stuff over at Bar Louie at Easton. I am game for any place, my main focus is on travel time, parking, space. I don't want this to be a giant pain for those who want to attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this goes well we might start doing it every quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I am waiting for some more responses (including the head hunters we have on here), but look for this to go down next month. This way people have time to plan for it. Thoughts on a part of town or location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEORedLS1 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'd make the drive down for that. Middle of the week works for me, would have to jump out of the office early to make it down from CLE in time. I'll keep my eye on this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I was thinking we could do this at one of the following: Winking Lizzard Jed's QSL Bar Louie All of these places have space, easy to get too, and the first two on the list have side rooms we could maybe get. Date wise I am looking at the following: Nov. 6,7,13, or 14 Time will be 6-9pm. These are all before the holiday insanity of turkey day. Again, any feedback would be great. I am still also looking for any hiring managers that would maybe be interested in this. If you know of any please let them know. I would like to get a location finalized so I can see if we can get a room, or make a reservation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
