Netsquared Jozi: The First Meet-Up

The first Netsquared Jozi meetup will be held on 14 July 2009.

Netsquared Jozi will be held once every two months in Johannesburg. These gatherings provide a networking and collaboration opportunity for all those interested in the intersection of social technologies and social change, whether you are part of a non-profit organisation or a for-profit organisation, a funder or a consultant, a developer or an entrepreneur.

The first Jozi meet-up is focussing on mobile technology:

We've got a great sponsor in the form of Betavine Social Exchange; we'll be holding a workshop with them earlier in the day - click here for details.
