Real and virtual networking!
Hey, we came across a really interesting event!
European Young Professionals (EYP), www.eyplondon.org, launched its London chapter on January 10, 2007 with a real life and Second life event!
The physical event, held at No. 5 Cavendish Square, was attended by 550 young professionals from 45 countries and the virtual event in Second Life (www.secondlife.com) was attended by more than 200 EYP members from all over the world. The people in both venues interacted, chatted and danced with each other, thanks to a webcam installed at the venue. Both the London and the Second life attendees enjoyed complimentary Cobra beer and Sputnik Vodka.
Nick Jonsson, communcations director and a founder of EYP says, "The EYP vision is to be innovative, supportive, diverse and to offer a unique, valuable networking experience to all members of EYP London". Nick added, “We could not believe the interest for the launch event. We thought that we could attract lots of professionals but never people from 45 countries.”
EYP has their next event on Feb 21 at Aura. You are welcom to join us then! More details at: www.eyplondon.org
Kindest Regards,
Nick Jonsson
