Our first 2010 event will be a relaxed and open event, geared towards mingling, making new friends in the industry and finding out more about what people are experiencing in their own spheres of expertise. As always, a great place to learn more about your fellow web professionals. If you haven’t been before, the Pumphouse is an excellent venue and there’s plenty of room to spread out and chat with your peers. There will be a free bar (until the tab runs out!) and some finger food.

We have our first 2010 sponsor, Happener, who have committed sponsoring us through the year, carrying on from their stellar suport since we started the events on a shoestring and a contact list, back when it was a WSG Casual event. Many thanks to Greg and Markus for their generous and passionate support for webblast. In addition, Campaign Monitor continues to support webblast (remember those great t-shirts from xmas?) as do SassySEO/The Rohans, who have always supported in spirit, and more recently as a sponsor.
