Join Women 2.0 for our monthly networking mixer with drinks and a book swap on Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 from 7pm to 9pm at Citizen Space.

Tell us the best book you read in 2008, and what you are eager to read in 2009. Be sure to bring your business/technology/entrepreneurship books to swap for other Women 2.0 members' books!

Bring a business, technology, or entrepreneurship book to trade and save $5 on general admission!

This is an open event for interested minds, male and female. As this is a Women 2.0 production, men may register as the "+1" of an attending woman. Basically if you’re a guy, invite a female to join you in attending this Women 2.0 event (she will register here and put you as her "+1").
