I attended The Successful You: Women’s Leadership Forum yesterday in Cambridge and sat in on the session “Boston. The Destination for Female Entrepreneurs”.

The panel featured four Boston-area women involved in the entrepreneurial community – Stephanie Kaplan, CEO of Her Campus Media, Jennifer Lum, Partner in Apricot Capital, Katie Rae, Managing Director of TechStars and Pam Reeve, Chair, The Commonwealth Institute. The session was excellent and each panelist really brought a unique perspective to the topic.

This week we have two really great events lined up.  On Wednesday, we’ll be sponsoring and attending Drinks vs. Zombies, an event that we’re beyond excited about, especially because it’s all for a good cause. What does the Drinks vs. Zombies event entail you ask?  Check out our post, Zombies? Entrepreneurs? Drinks? BREW?…What?, for all the gory details.  Let’s just say this; we wouldn’t be sponsoring it if we didn’t love everything about it!

The Grasshopper team decided to get involved with another cool event happening in Boston.  We tend to focus all our efforts on doing events during the summer (when there is seemingly a shortage), but this event we just absolutely could not resist.  Trust me, if this was just “your typical networking event” we wouldn’t be involved.

Join us for our first ever Facebook chat next Thursday with our Ambassador of Buzz, Jonathan Kay.  Jonathan, our resident buzz expert, will be live on our Facebook wall for 1 hour to answer all of your buzz related questions.  Want to know how to generate buzz like Grasshopper? Curious what’s worked for us and what hasn’t? Have a general buzz question or not sure where to start?  Jonathan will be happy to answer all of that and more, so make sure to bring your questions!

It’s been a while since we’ve done an event post, and that’s because during the summer, events tend to be few and far between.  Not next week!

We have a great week lined up from the What no to Web Remix on Tuesday, to Building an Army of Brand Loyalists with MassChallenge on Wednesday, and our Facebook chat with Jonathan Kay on Thursday – we’ll be pretty busy!
