Last week saw in my introduction to the renowned 27Dinner. Being a newbie, meeting the people who we all follow regularly on Twitter and via their blogs can be rather intimidating. The dinner hosts the local industry masterminds; bloggers, authors, lecturers, eMarketing gurus, mobile fundies and entrepreneurs in their respective fields. Co-founded by Mike Stopforth and Dave Duarte, the event essentially stimulates networking and collaboration within the digital space and very successfully at that.
