Get a jumpstart on networking with the CNU 17 social events site. The premier gathering for urbanist education, collaboration and networking now has an online social networking site, allowing users the chance to get ahead of the game in connecting with fellow attendees, exploring Denver and learning the ins and outs of CNU 17 from fellow attendees.   Powered by Zerista, a Denver-based company specializing in event-oriented social networking, the site works like a CNU 17-specific Facebook, letting attendees:

- Search and browse a complete attendee directory
- Send messages and set up meetings
- Share their own personal profile and web content with other attendees
- Broadcast business opportunities via event-wide forums
- Build and export a personalized CNU 17 schedule

In addition, with the interactive local guide, people can learn about all of the great restaurants and attractions within walking distance of the Denver Sheraton Hotel, the site hosting this year’s Congress.

“CNU's social networking site will give you a way to directly interact with other attendees,” said Sandrine Milanello, CNU Event Director. “We strongly encourage you to make use of the Zerista system by logging in, uploading your picture and filling out your interests. It’s a great way to market yourself.”

If you can’t find this email, check your spam folder and make sure it didn’t get misplaced. We’ll be sending reminder emails to all registered attendees with instructions soon.
