BOOM!

Last night I attended the first networking event sponsored by Boom networking, a Jamaican-based party/learning/teaching group of young(er) professionals.

The results? Spectacular.

In a recent issue of Framework's OnePage Digest I had mentioned that:

Boom Networking (fete): If there is such a thing as a business fete, then this is IT. Their newsletter explains everything you need to know about the upcoming "La Investa Fiesta" which I have heard rave reviews about, but have not been able to schedule. If you go, bid on some drinks for me in the "Alcohol Exchange!"

Now, I can safely say that Boom has brought another part of their mission successfully into focus -- sharing ideas and networking -- in the form of last night's ScotiaBank sponsored event:

It was brilliantly done, from the excellent speakers, wonderful presentation, tasty finger-food and high quality wine tasting. A hit on several levels.

I consider myself lucky to be able to attend the first of what I hope will be a long series of events.

And, I can't wait to get to the next party!
