This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 7-5

These creative types really need to get their scheduling in sync! There are no less than three events targeted at the "creative community" on Wednesday -- the Creative Associations Showcase, Creative Connects, and the pre-DIY Days Creative Meetup -- though I suppose they are spread out enough that you could cruise from one to the other. 5 to 7, 5:30 to 8, and 7 to 11.

Some other interesting things happening this post-holiday mid-Summer week: BBQs, blobs, hacks, career transitions, and leadership chasms.

If you are feeling stressed out about your networking, Wayne Presbyterian's weekly career networking group is holding an "Attitude Maintenance & Stress Management" session on Monday. A Licensed Counseling Psychologist, a Stress Management Specialist & certified Yoga Therapist (not sure if that is one, two or three people) will be on hand to demonstrate some proven strategies for positive self-talk to boost your mood, improve your outlook, and keep you moving forward.

This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 6-14

Happy Flag Day.

Not much going on Monday or Friday, but there's a whole lot stuffed into Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The DVIRC is opening up a new network group for manufacturers from Upper Bucks and Montgomery Counties, with the first meeting on Tuesday morning. The new Philadelphia area chapter of the National Business Marketing Association is holding its 2nd kick-off meeting at Kildare's in King of Prussia, one of several meetings taking place there. There's also an interesting-sounding get-together called "The Business of Sports Networking Event."

On top of this, there's the Wharton Leadership Conference, a face-off between an entrepreneur and a VC at the Venture Association of New Jersey (VANJ) luncheon, and a whole bunch of networking mixers, including the Philadelphia SHRM networking event, which for some reason has been one of the most-viewed events on the Basecamp Business Calendar for several months now.

This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 5-31

My goodness! Is it Tuesday already? And I forgot to post! I was totally tied up on Sunday and simply unable to post. Then Monday, and now Tuesday, rolled around, and I didn't get to the post because, after all, that's something I do on Sunday and it was now Tuesday. Thanks to all of you who sent me note wondering what happened. It's nice to know that you find this useful.

And you know you can always find these events on the Basecamp Business web site, which is now found on the MAC Alliance, Select Greater Philadelphia, Ben Franklin Technology PArtners, South Jersey Technology Park, Hershey Center for Applied Research, and soon many others.

Anyway, much sorry for not getting this out on Sunday. There's a LOT happening this week, with the MAC Alliance Luncheon, the Baiada Center 2009 Entrepreneur Conference, The Governor’s Entrepreneurial Business Conference, just to name a few. There's also barbecues, open hacks, camps, and sparglefests, for those in a lighter moods.
