PhilaMade is a newly formed networking group for creative professionals living/working in the 215/610 area code.
Group organizer Joe Rinaldi (of Happy Cog) asked us (along with MissionStaff) to help sponsor their 2011 kick-off party and we were more than happy to help out.
Over 60 people showed up at North Bowl in Northern Liberties to bowl a few frames, hoist many Kensingers and share some good grub (including the now-famous North Bowl Tater Tots).
As someone who’s made the rounds in the Philly business networking scene, it was a refreshing change (no insurance salesman). The crowd was full of like-minded folks working and engaging in all forms of creative endeavours.
We look forward to more of these meet-ups and encourage you to check them out on Facebook and connect with some really great people.
Update: A great set of event photos by Jennifer Helene are now up on the PhilaMade Flickr page.
