Our first annual holiday party will blast off at 7:15pm immediately after NewTech Eastside's monthly event ends. We have a lot of fun activities planned for the evening, including a 30-second elevator pitch competition (email us if you want to sign up to "pitch the VC" in the imaginary elevator on stage; crowd-voted winning pitch wins a prize), games, food and drink, and more to be announced. One thing we can practically guarantee is that everyone who attends will get to know everyone else at this epic mixer. Meet and mingle with a terrific group of startup entrepreneurs and early stage investors!

Note, if you purchased a ticket to the NewTech Eastside December Meetup you don't need to purchase a ticket to the holiday party; just stick around!
