At lunch today, during the NetSquared Conference, 17 Net Tuesday organizers from 12 of the 16 Net Tuesdays met face-to-face for the first time.

Net Tuesdays are local monthly meetups for folks to get together, share resources, network, and have fun! You can look and see if there is a Net Tuesday near you on the NetSquared Meetup Alliance. If you'd like to start a Net Tuesday, check out the blog post, How to Start a Net Tuesday in Your Town, and email me at bbravo@techsoup.org.
