This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 12/30

A happy 2008 to all! The New Year starts of to a bang this week, with discussions on ethics, predictions and forecasts, networking, contracts, and (of course) taxes. I've listed the next two weeks of events, to give you a chance to plan ahead a bit. There are even more activities coming up in later in January, so I invite you to take a quick look at the calendar of networking events, in either Google or iCal format, and get your calendar for January mapped out.

See you around!
