IT Martini Hour 8 Wrap Up + PICS

December 07, 2009

Wednesday, December 2nd brought cold, rainy weather with unbelievable traffic to the Columbus area – but that didn’t stop over 400 Columbus IT Pros from attending IT Martini Hour 8: Ghost of Projects Past at BoMA! Almost  $3000 was raised in support of The Buckeye Ranch and Groundwork Group, two fantastic local non-profits.

Didn't make it through the rain and traffic?  Check out the wrap up, with pictures, available now.

Congratulations again to eEvent, the winner of the IT Martini Community Choice Award and $1000 cash prize, presented by Fast Switch!  And thank you to all of the DEMO competitors who played to win: Brand Thunder, HashParty, FuleMileage.com, and DB.NET. 

One more huge thanks to the Top Shelf Sponsors of IT Martini Hour 8: American Digital, PMI Central Ohio Chapter, and GRIP Technology.  These are three  organizations doing great things for YOUR IT Community.
