The theme of our next social event is... gathering with Real Timers. We would like to extend our invitation to the 30+ New Yorkers who attended the 3-day-Fast Company Real Time event in Orlando last month. Bring your friends, everyone's invited! Real Time was filled with more than 500 inspiring people from around the country. There were many innovative workshops and discussions on the topic of Innovation, Creativity and Grass Roots Leadership. We're sure that the Real Timers still feel passionate enough to share what they learned at the conference and will share what other Fast Company communities are working on. For those who will be attending a Fast Company/Company of Friends event for the first time, this is a great opportunity to mingle and meet more of NYC's cell members - from dot com entrepreneurs to business consultants to lawyers. It is a great opportunity to make some new acquaintances and perhaps form some new "strategic alliances."
