WHAT: Beer and Business
WHERE: Thirty Nine Hotel
WHEN: Tuesday, November 18th, 530 pm to 830 pm

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The next Beer and Business is right around the corner!  Beer and Business Nights are designed to bringing together the Hawaii business community in a casual environment.  We’re helping local entrepreneurs, executives, and investors get to know each other over good drinks and good conversation.

We’ll be hosting the next fabulous Beer and Business event at Thirty Nine Hotel (yes, that’s also the address) on Tuesday, November 18th from 530 pm to 830 pm.

I want to give a big thank you to Hawaii Business Magazine, HiBeam, and the Hawaii Angels.  They’ve generously agreed to sponsor the next Beer and Business event and, as a result, we’re going to be able to offer two free drinks per guest for the first 100 guests.  I especially want to thank Rachel Ogdie, the Executive Director of HiBEAM, for her extensive involvement with the production of each Beer and Business event.  Also, mahalo to HVCA, the Hawaii Science and Technology Council, and Entrepreneurs Foundation for their continued support.

This time around we’ll have three companies each making 4-minute presentations showcasing their experience in Hawaii.  We’ll be announcing each company shortly.

After presentations we’ll open up the stage for anyone to get up and talk for 60 seconds about anything they want. You got something to say, say it!

Send any questions you have to lorenz@bluelavatech.com.  See you there!

We’ve been hard at work making the next Beer and Business event happen and it’s finally right around the corner. We’ve decided to tweak the format slightly this time around which will hopefully make the event more fun and valuable for all.

First off, I want to thank Hawaii Business Magazine. They’ve generously agreed to sponsor the next Beer and Business event.  As before, HiBEAM is also sponsoring and making this event possible. Now we’re going to be able to offer a couple of free drinks per guest. A very big thank you to both of them for their support. I especially want to thank Rachel Ogdie, the Executive Director of HiBEAM, for everything she’s done to make Beer and Business possible from day one.

We’re also changing up the format slightly. This time around we’ll have two companies making 5 minute presentations showcasing their experience in Hawaii. So far we have Laurent Scallie, CEO of Atlantis Cyberspace, confirmed. He’ll be talking about his experience in Hawaii running a company that provides the military with virtual combat simulation technology. The second presenting company will be announced shortly.

After presentations we’ll open up the stage for anyone to get up and talk for 60 seconds about anything they want. You got something to say, say it!

This Beer and Business will be downtown at ThirtyNine Hotel (yes, that’s also the address) on Thursday, November 15th, from 530 to 800 pm. Send any questions you have to fun - at - beerandbusiness.com.

See you there!

Beer and Business Nights are devoted to bringing together the Hawaii business community in a casual environment. We’d like to help local entrepreneurs, executives, and investors get to know each other over good drinks and good conversation.

Yes, this event is about business and networking and all that stuff. But really it’s about making new friends and discovering common interests (business or otherwise) in a local environment that can seem at once tightly knit yet very distant.

So join us, grab a beer, and prepare to meet some really great people. Casual attitude mandatory.
