VizThink5 is really designed as a fun evening to get everyone back together in the post-summer slow-down and get our creative juices flowing. Exact format will depend on how many folks we get out but we'll be creating our own words.

There's a location in mind/99% confirmed, I'm just waiting on details but I think it'll be a great space for this kind of event. If people want to chip a few $ in on the night we can order in some pizza etc.

It'd be fun if we could also get some "sponsors" to kick in some prizes for the ultimate winners. If you, or someone you know, can help out drop me an email at rcoleman (at) clay-tablet (dot) com.

It is not expected or assumed you've attended any previous VizThink - all are welcome, and the previous attendees are a good crowd ready to help out if you have questions.

Some are HR types, looking to get better […]

Speaking with Seb Paquet last week I was stunned to hear that Montreal Wiki Night frequently has turnouts exceeding 50 people.
Its clear we need a new strategy. I suspect a pub venue (while mandatory […]
