When do the doors open?
When do the doors open?
You can check in, pay at the door (if you elected to do that), and make a name tag.
Beginning at 1:00 PM (or thereabouts) we'll provide an overview of an unconference using the open space technology.

1 - We intentionally don't want to make money, we are all looking for work and recognize that funds are tight.
2 - We did want to charge something to ensure a reasonable headcount for planning purposes.
Hence, the $5 charge seems reasonable and allows us to plan and to make a contribution to the church for the use of the facility.
Your registration fee ($5.00) paid via Eventbrite nets the organizing team approx. $3.50 (Eventbrite has a charge for processing the credit card).
From the $3.50 times however many people show up, we plan for some refreshments and will purchase accordingly.
All surplus funds will be donated to the St John the Evangelist Parish. They along with the Hopkinton Networking Group have graciously allowed us use of the facility for free.
A full accounting of the receipts and expenses will be provided to the attendees.You can still talk about the event with your friends, neighbors and networked connections. Registrations will be taken at the door on Friday. You can share the event website
or have them go directly to the registration page
Thank you! See you Friday!
