As previously announced, there will be a News Industry meetup on the first night of DrupalCON. I’m pretty excited, as it is a great chance to meet some folks working on projects similar to ours.

Well, Jeff Anderson of HamptonRoads and PilotOnline reminded me that I never announced any of the details of the meetup. So, without delay, here’s what you need to know.

LOCATION

The News Industry event will be held at Lucky’s Lounge at 7:45 pm, Monday, March 3rd. Working with the folks from Development Seed, we’ve reserved the lounge for the night.*

Looking for people who use Drupal the way that you do? If you’re in the news business, come meet up with industry professionals, thought leaders, and Drupal experts. We’ll have representatives from some of the leading sites on the Drupal platform, including:

* The Knight Foundation
* NowPublic.com
* SavannahNOW.com
* Page6.com
* BlufftonToday.com
* Newspapers on Drupal
* Hampton Roads / Pilot Online
* Vineyard Voice
* The Island Packet (Hilton Head, SC)

And many, many more.

* Note that other industry networking events will occur at Lucky’s before 7:45, so plan to arrive between 7:45 and 8:00.

Special thanks to Bonnie at Development Seed for doing the heavy lifting on the venue!
