Background.
Net Tuesday is the face-to-face event series brought to you by NetSquared.org.
NetSquared is an initiative of TechSoup.org, a 501c-3 technology project based out of San Francisco, CA.

Currently, more than (18) cities are meeting up to discuss new ways to approach old problems.
Much needs to be learned about operating in a networked-era -- even more needs to be discovered -- and opportunities for new Projects await us.
