Third Tuesday comes to Saint John

I attended the second meeting of Third Tuesday in February... hosted at the Opera Bistro (translation: awesome food, good wine, great atmosphere) this networking event is an opportunity for those in the fields of communications, PR and marketing, to get together with the computer geeks of the world (please note I use that term with a lot of admiration, respect and maybe even a bit of awe - who knew a string of zeros and ones could do such cool things?) to learn about electronic marketing techniques and meet the people who can make such things work. And the mix of attendees is great - programmers, PR pros, established business leaders and entrepreneurs... stunningly enough I was not the least technically inclined person in the room!

I understand this network is a rarity in Canada - Saint John is in the company of major urban centres like Vancouver and Toronto, and has kept pace with those players (Montreal's Third Tuesday group started at the same time). Just another example of how our "quaint little town" continues to be an early adopter and innovator, true to our history!
