Connecting in the City: a SPUR Young Urbanist Event September 16, 2008

What is this event, Connecting in the City?

Coffeehouses, dive bars, dance clubs, bookstores... San Francisco is the home to a diverse population with access to a myriad of social activities. More recently, online communities have flourished and have led to an unprecedented reliance on technology to facilitate our relationships with others. Concurrently, business, civic and social organizations are encouraging young people to get engaged in urban life through participation in online communities - How and why has this phenomenon occurred?

Join Nish Nadaraja, Marketing Director for Yelp, Edith Yueng of SF Entrepreneur and others for this exciting forum that includes improvisational work of the cast of How We First Met.
