PerkettPR is Official Communications Sponsor for TechCrunch East Coast Meetup November 16
BOSTON - October 18, 2007 - PerkettPR is pleased to announce that it is the official communications sponsor for TechCrunch/IDG Ventures East Coast Meetup to be held in Boston - the first and only East Coast TechCrunch networking event this year. A "must attend" for anyone invested in the future of technology, TechCrunch Meetups bring together the hottest Web 2.0 investors, entrepreneurs, emerging technology companies, customers and media to meet, share ideas, and preview the latest products and services driving Internet innovation. The event will be held in Boston at The Estate in Boston's famed Theatre District.
"PerkettPR has been an enthusiastic supporter of several our TechCrunch Meetups in the past and we are thrilled with their involvement in the planning and promotion of our 2007 East Coast event," said Heather Harde, CEO of TechCrunch. "Perkett's experienced team of senior PR professionals made them a natural fit to help us bring together the best and brightest of the East Coast's tech community."
PerkettPR is helping to plan and promote the event, which typically sells out in just minutes; TechCrunch's 11th Meetup is expected to attract over 700 attendees from Boston, New York and Washington D.C. The last TechCrunch event was held in July at August Capital, in Silicon Valley.
"TechCrunch Meetups are a unique opportunity to gather and share ideas with the Who's Who of technology all in one room," said Christine Perkett, President of PerkettPR. "As an innovative, virtual PR agency that began in Boston, we're thrilled to extend our expertise to help TechCrunch and co-editors, Michael Arrington and Erick Schonfeld bring their influential Meetup to our historic city - we look forward to showing them why Boston is not only a chic location but an important East Coast hub for tech brilliance as well."
