Ecademy sebe opiše kot:

Business Networking - Connecting Business People.

In zato tudi gre. Socialno mreženje. Še eno, slišim. Da. Vendar malo drugačno. Zanimivi ljudje (to so tudi drugje, bi lahko bil komentar), predvsem pa je drugače to, da se ljudje srečujejo na dogodkih.

Takole izgledajo profili ljudi. Npr. Sašin.

Seveda se lahko Ecademyu pridruži vsak. Brezplačno. Moje vabilo.

Meni se je zdelo najbolj zanimivo to, da je prava svetovna zvezda v Ecademyu Slovenka. Andreja Lajh uživa v različnih mrežah (networkih, vendar ne multi level) izjemen ugled. Zasluženo.

Prvi stik z Andrejo je bil preko emaila, ko jo je znanka opisala: Andreja Lajh, ki sem jo spoznala pred dvema letoma kot oblikovalko, je navdušena on-line networking oseba, ki je prek mnogih baz povezana s tisočimi posamezniki.

Takrat se nisem uspel udeležiti dogodka, vendar sem Andrejo vseeno spoznal. Vsekakor znanstvo, ki si ga štejem v čast. Prav tako si jemljem v čast to, da me je povabila k sovodenju Ecademy Slovenia (čeprav odkrito priznam, da bom moral na tem področju še kaj narediti).

Vsekakor je online netwrorking svet nekaj posebnega. O tem lahko sicer največ pove prav Andreja:)

Splača se pridružiti. Lahko pogledamo tako, da nimamo kaj izgubiti. Veliko lahko pridobimo.

In zakaj pišem to ravno sedaj?

Andreja bo 12. septembra pripravila zanimiv dogodek, ki se ga lahko udeležite. In še poseben program 13.

Izjemno, zanimivo in drugačno. Zabavno in poučno. Predvsem pa mrežno. Udeležbo sta potrdila tudi ustanovitelja Ecademy Thomas in Penny.

Jaz bom tam. Vabljeni pa tudi vi.

Tole pa sta programa dogodka.

THE “EXTRA” PART

An exclusive program on Saturday is here for those networkers who
are interested in exclusive Slovenian enogastronomy based mostly on
the best fresh fish. Due to limited number of places if more then
32 persons will be interested to join priority will have guests from
abroad.

Saturday trip will start at 10.30 with the bus in front of the hotel, which
will take us to Zemono, near to Vipava (a bit more then 100 km from
Ljubljana), where at 12.00 the star chef Tomaž Kavčič;
will spoil us
with a very exclusive luncheon and with selection of the best Slovenian
wines - this launcheon will be composed of aperitive, many courses -
each with specially selected wine, and will last about 3,5 hours.

Attendees of the 1st edition of No Limits Networking in May 2008 can’t
forget it - Zemono and the chef Tomaž  Kavčič

After the luncheon we will continue our trip with bus to the seaside -
the coast near to Piran (a bit more then 100 km from Zemono) - and will
be able to experience an unique attraction (I have to thank for this to the
chef Tomaž Kavčič) - to visit the Fonda
family - family who dedicated herself to cultivation of healthy
mediterranean food. The family Fonda, whos members are all
biologists, is particulary famous for their cultivated Fonda sea-bas
which became a well
known brand. Family Fonda feeds their fish by hand (only with the best
food) for four years before going to market. Since they control the
feeding, their fish can have 13 times less mercury than wild fish.

Irena Fonda with the Fonda sea-bas

The Fonda family will take us for a boat-trip to the sea to let us
see their fishy friends and will prepare a fish BBQ with their fresh
sea-bas and excellent wines of the region.

Late in the evening we will return by bus back home (another 100 km of
trip).

The cost of this package varies depending on the number of participants so
I would kindly ask you to express your interest if you plan to join us.
