Geeks, set your phasers on stunned. I just saw the email from GarageGeeks about their upcoming event this Thursday from 20:30 and if you’re into, like, stuff (and by stuff I mean Internet, finance, today’s world) then you will totally and utterly want to be there.
The guests for this event are:
Stanley Fischer (governor of the Bank of Israel)
Sir Ronald Cohen (founder of Apax)
Davud Fischer (VP of advertising and global ops at Facebook)
Tom Rogers (president and CEO of Tivo)
Robert Stephens (CTO of Best Buy and founder of The Geek Squad)
Martin Varsavsky (founder of Fon)
and…. Jimmy Wales! (Wikipedia!)
Yes, all in one room. You want to be there. Bring food and drinks to share as this is a “user generated dinner”.
I have no idea what people bring to these things. The Dizengoff Center food market is on Thursday evenings if you want to bring readymade homecooked stuff or snacks that go beyond stuff you can buy at the supermarket, but I’m sure people would be happy for some wine and crackers just the same.
The dinner will be held at GarageGeeks HQ in Holon (Hapeled 40 in the industrial area of town). You’ll need a taxi to get there and I suggest you get a number for a taxi back (obviously my eBook guide has all those things in it).
