Connector Review 2009

It was been a great year for Connector. We held 12 great events including Connector BBQ, Connector Tribes, Connector Launches & Connector Canon Contest
Besides the monthly events, during October & November we ran Connector Lunches, where we got together every Friday to have lunch, at several venues such as Café du Seine, Pacino's or the Little Caesar, where we had lunches spiced with relaxed chats and new connections. 
We get to appear in Dragons’ Den, where Conor appeared with some of the first Connectors. There was no deal on the day but we got great publicity!
Connector Campus started last summer with Jamie & Andrew, our American interns, and now more students & graduates are joining Connector to gain work experience and make great connections.
