Lunch 2.0 Hawaii Launches!
Lunch Five-O was a huge success due to the enthusiasm expressed by attendees in Honolulu (many who attended in their most formal Aloha shirts and slippaz) who loved the Lunch 2.0 concept. Thanks again HiBEAM for letting us eat your lunch!
The neighborhood teaser video from
ChipIn surprised the attendees by announcing their selection to launch a new Widget authoring platform at the DEMO conference. When asked about the new product, Carnet, CEO of ChipIn said, “Sproutbuilder enables anyone to quickly and easily build sophisticated promotional widgets.” I guess we’ll have to wait until Jan 28th to see what he means! In the meantime, you can sign up here for a beta account and see what Carnet has to say on his new Sprout Blog.
Leading up to the event there was a great number of colorful regrets in attendance from the Facebook event page (on the right are a few of my favorites). For fans, you can add Lunch20Hawaii to FB here.
Rachel from HiBEAM says, “…if you are looking to do something cool with high tech in HI, we encourage you to contact us and see how we can be of value to you.”

At the end of the event one of the Lunch 2.0 Hawaii organizers gave a quick 2 minute description of Lunch 2.0 in

[...] geek out, and then volunteer for the next Lunch20Hawaii like Lorenze (CEO of iLovePhotos.com) did last time. Just don’t think about it, all you need to do is raise your hand and you’re the next [...]

@ Chris…good question. I still need a review from the last one (I’m in CA and missed the one last week at ilovephotos.com)…we’ll then see which startup wants to go next! Did you get a chance to go last week?
