Tech Trivia showdown on tap |
Register here for our next TechFlash Live networking event, March 23, featuring an expert panel discussing the future of online advertising.
We're gearing up for our first Tech Trivia contest, to be held next Wednesday during our TechFlash Holiday Party & Birthday Bash. Teams have signed up so far from companies and sites including Avvo, Blue Box Group, the Cheezburger Network, Edelman, findwell, Marketfish, Pelago, Silicon Valley Bank and Seattle 2.0.
Any bets on which team will prevail?
Then again, that's not the final lineup. If you think your company or group has what it takes to triumph in tech trivia, there are still slots available. See this page for details and to register a four-person team for the event. We've been working hard on the questions, and we can promise that the competition will be fun and challenging.
General admission tickets are still available, as well, so even if you're not into trivia, it will be a fun night of networking and celebrating the season at Spitfire Grill in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood.
Thanks again to our event sponsors: Reaxion, BDO, Denali Advanced Integration and the Master of Business Administration program at The University of Washington, Bothell. Looking forward to seeing everyone the evening of Dec. 9.
