Meet Karen Davies — an Attendee from California Who Knows Web 2.0!
I was updating my Google Map that showed the location of all the registered attendees of the 4th Annual Pharma Marketing Networking Dinner and cam across Karen Davies, President of Varitage. The reason she attracted my attention is because she is one of the few attendees that actually edited their information on the Attendee Map. Here’s what she wrote about herself:
Hi. I have been in the healthcare industry for 13 years and started my career at Pfizer in Manhattan. I have worked for some incredible companies and agencies in the Industry and recently launched Varitage in October of 2007. I am proud to say we have a professional, energetic and extremely talented team that never ceases to exceed standards of excellence. Check out their work at www.varitage.com.
I look forward to meeting Karen and learning all about her new venture! I hope she gets her elevator pitch recorded at the meeting and opts to include it in the Vendor Video Showcase DVD!
It’s NOT too late to get your ticket!
I hope to see you there!
P.S. Did I mention FREE parking, easy-off, easy-on access to Route 1/NJ Turnpike?
P.P.S. All attendees have a chance to win a Category Sponsorship Listing in the online Pharma Marketing Vendor Directory (value: $295)! This listing includes a logo, Web link, contact information, a 250-word description AND a top-of-the-page banner ad for 1 year! It can also include access to the 60-second video elevator pitch you make at the dinner meeting.
