Don’t Miss Tonight’s GDP Talk (it’ll be much better than the Yahoo event)
February 4, 2010 – | Comments

gdptalkWhat started a couple months back as an idea to help local start-ups and entrepreneurs connect is shaping up to be a very exciting event that nearly 100 people plan to attend. Tonight’s “GDP Talk”, hosted Scott Bell, kicks off at 6:30pm at the Belamar Hotel in Manhattan Beach.

Tech Zulu will be holding velvet-roped interviews with local start-ups, the first discussion session begins at 7:15pm, and of course, there will be a discounted cash bar and plenty of heat lamps.

Tickets are only $15 and the proceeds go to charity. You can purchase them here. There’s also more information on the event’s facebook page.

We hope to see you there! And yes, we’d definitely recommend this event over the Yahoo party at ‘The Yard’.
