DINNER CIRCLE: Dinner Circle Networking Event, August 30, 2006 , 8:00 pm

 

This month's Dinner Circle event will take place on Wednesday, August 30 at 8:00 pm  at different restaurants in the Dupont Circle , Washington DC, Arlington, VA and Bethesda, MD. 

 

Our commitment: We'll do our best to maximize the potential of the evening by thoughtfully matching participants with others of similar age, interests, and career stage. We'll also try to pick easily accessible, moderately priced restaurants that make the evening more enjoyable.

 

Your commitment: First, we ask that you show up to your assigned restaurant promptly at 8:00 pm (that's Eastern Standard Time, not Indian Standard Time!). Second, because these groups are intended to be small, one or two people canceling at the last minute can really disrupt the dynamic. Thus, we ask that you only sign up for the event if you're 99% sure that you'll be able to attend. If you cannot make it this month, there will be another NETSAP Dinner Circle event next month. 

 

If you have any questions or comments, visit the Dinner Circle webpage or e-mail: Neeraj Bhat at dinner@netsap.org.
