"Hello! How are you?" That's all it takes to make the next handshake to learn a new fact, change a career or land a new client. Chicago HTML 5 hosted a meetup that brought like minded professionals together to discuss emerging web technologies at SXSW.
SXSW's goal is to connect professionals and inspire them. In line for registration, grabbing a drink in a lounge, chatting before a session, or walking through downtown it can happen at anytime. Meet ups are fantastic for bringing like-minded people together. CHIHTML5 brought these people together at their Sunday meet up during the festival.
Organizer, Mattie T. Langenberg discussed "For me, the benefit is making connections and exposing the Chicago HTML5 Meetup's community of developers, designers and UX professionals to SXSW attendees from all over North America and the rest of the world. In some cases it's just hello and how do you do, but I've recruited speakers through the meetup and made contacts with other meetup organizers and tech companies interested in Chicago."
CHIHTML5 laid out stickers on every table during the meetup. One by one those stickers were embraced and left on their individual journeys to land on lap tops, work spaces, computers, and notebooks.
Meetup with like minded professionals and make sure the experience travels with some custom branded stickers.
