There seems to be a lot of excitement in the Seattle Tech scene recently. David Gibbons and I attended the 1st Seattle Lunch 2.0 event hosted by WetPaint & sponsored by ZenZui and EyeJot last Friday. We had a blast and met some interesting and talented Seattle entrepreneurs. To add to the excitement, Zillow is very pleased to announce that we will be hosting the next Lunch 2.0 event — already nicknamed Zillunch — at our Seattle offices on July 11th from 11:30 – 1:00 (though organizer Josh Maher beat us to the blog presses)!
Location: Zillow
Address: 999 Third Ave., Suite 4600 Seattle
Date: Wednesday, July 11
Time: 11:30AM – 1PM
We are limiting the attendee list to 50, so RSVP at upcoming.org soon if you plan on attending. Can’t attend? Not to worry, Chris Pirillo will be in attendance and will be streaming the event live for those who can’t make it. We’ll release further details, such as the speakers, as we get closer to the event.
Update: So we don’t get beat to the blog presses again, I’d like to announce the two speakers at the next Seattle Lunch 2.0 event:
- Rich Barton, CEO of Zillow & Venture Partner at Benchmark Capital, will speak about how the VC Industry views Web 2.0 companies.
- John Cook, Business Reporter for the Seattle PI, has agreed to participate in a Q&A to answer questions about what catches his eye and makes a story.
