Event Reminder: Ellen Levy on the Art of Mobilizing "Purposeful" Networks

This is an event reminder: Make the most out of your lunch hour and join us on Thursday, March 13th for a casual meet-up with entrepreneur and network impresario Ellen Levy. (The event is taking place at our very cool headquarters in Providence, Rhode Island.)

If you attended the BIF-3 summit, then you already know that Ellen is pure energy - she's a self-proclaimed opportunist who has an uncanny ability to make powerful connections between people and concepts. Over lunch, she'll discuss her experiences building purposeful networks — networks that go beyond social networking—that bridge across geographies, (business) cultures and topical areas. How do you bring together people pursuing similar interests and questions, but from very different backgrounds and perspectives? Ellen will answer this question and more on March 13th.

Some background on Ellen - she's currently the founding Managing Director at Silicon Valley Connect. Silicon Valley Connect is the umbrella company for most of Levy's initiatives these days, whether it is working as the Network Advisor to global venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson, serving as a Deputy Chair for the Clinton Global Initiative, advising a handful of startup companies or working directly with Fortune 500 companies on their technology and innovation strategies.

Please note that while this event is free and open to our community, we have a limited number of seats and a deposit of $100 (by check or credit card) must be made. You will have your original check or credit card form returned at the event sign-in. If you are a "no show" for the event we will deposit your check or charge your credit card for the $100.

Registration details can be found here

I hope to see you there!
