I helped create a movement for a test marketed product last year for a major QSR brand that was grown this year. Below is the link to the website and the creative force behind it.

Hi Elizabeth,
I think we have previously met at an ISES meeting....
There is a relatively new event related networking site called event peeps. I believe it is still in the beta stage - but it has some great features and I have already begun to make some connections. Minimally it give mes me the excuse to reconnect with industry collegues - just by sending them an invitation to join me on this site.
Good Luck at BizBash!

I could write a few pages of feedback on Social Networking and viral marketing in the Events and Corporate meetings industry. I would be happy to help dependent on certain criteria (such as a by-line credit for the research or something to that effect.) Let me know if you are interested and I will share my research/experiences with you.

Thanks!
