For our 1st two events we had a good turnout. This last event we did not get enough sign ups and we realized that the price is definitely hindering people from participating, especially now with all of the complimentary networking mixers. We are re-evaluating our business model to make the event low cost/no cost and to generate more interactivity and engagement through our website before and after the event.

Given the alarmingly increasing growth rate of San Diego's available talent pool, there is a definite need for a "business only" event like this specifically for those needing services and those offering them. Find a company willing to sponsor and you'll be turning folks away at the door...
