eSAX Ottawa Networking Event Recap: Jan 7, 2015

The latest eSAX event was another great success!

Despite the extreme cold alerts we were under, we still had over 200 people make their way to Funhaven to enjoy a night of networking.

Our sponsors and guest speakers helped to facilitate connections and help empower new Ottawa entrepreneurs.

Taking a look at the Twitter feed (using the #eSAX tag) can give you an idea of how great the night was. Of course, the cold was definitely an overall theme!

It’s going to be a great day at @eSAXnetworking meeting entrepreneurs following their biz dreams. #eSAX
