I have heard that Baltimore's new media/ad agency
community is active. I would like to get some of these
folks out to this meeting. If you know of Balto. ad
agency folks (with a net-centric focus), I would appreciate
a contact.
I will then pass along an email to them on this event. Or...
feel free to pass the enclosed email along to your Balto.
agency contacts.
I would also like to get some of these folks involved
in our Ad-marketing group. They would be a nice
addition, to date I haven't engaged enough agency
folks. Feel free to mention our group to your agency
friends in Balto. or Washington:

Thanks again for the help!

The Netpreneur Program and The Johns
Hopkins University invite you to an evening session of Coffee &
DoughNets. These informal networking and information sessions
give netpreneurs, and individuals who are thinking of becoming
netpreneurs, the chance to exchange ideas, experiences and
knowledge.
Mario Morino, Chairman of the Morino Institute, will talk about
what possesses individuals to strike out in bold new directions
to become netpreneurs -- the vanguard of the new "networked
society" -- how this phenomenon is growing in our region, and
ways the Netpreneur Program is making a difference. Then,
he'll open it up to questions and answers from the audience.
The interchange is typically lively, sometimes controversial,
and always informative. Bring your ideas and thoughts and be
ready to communicate, listen and have fun.
Netpreneur Program newcomers may wonder -- What is a
netpreneur? It's an entrepreneur who creates products and
services that are for or delivered over digital networks. The
Netpreneur Program advances these digital age entrepreneurs
and the businesses they create. Coffee & DoughNets sessions
provide opportunities for netpreneurs and their stakeholders,
including investors, strategic partners and others, a place to
connect, partner and help one another grow and succeed.
Our host, The Johns Hopkins University, brings a strong
entrepreneurial perspective to the mix. Over the past six years,
the medical school's technology has formed the basis of 12
biomedical start-up companies, nine in Maryland. In addition,
the medical institutions have helped form a variety of cutting-edge
information technology companies, including InteliHealth, a $25
million joint venture with Aetna U.S. Healthcare in the field of
multimedia consumer health information. Johns Hopkins is also
a service provider for and part owner of WorldCare, a global
telemedicine company.
A host of distance learning ventures are underway, including a
joint initiative among Johns Hopkins and Caliber Learning
Systems to deliver the Johns Hopkins "Business of Medicine"
course to doctors through a network of high-tech classrooms
linked nationwide by interactive video and computer technology.
We look forward to seeing you on June 11!
