Alex Albrecht (Diggnation, Project Lore, The Totally Rad Show)
Hayden Black (Goodnight Burbank, Abigail’s Teen Diary, The Cabonauts).
We’re going to be starting the evening out with an open panel discussion with these two knuckleheads, so come with questions you want to ask! Make sure to RSVP soon before tickets are gone as space is limited.

1. Do Your Homework!
Research is key. Take some time to look at the RSVP list to get an idea of who’s coming. Most people include a link to their web series or company site. Click on them. See what they are working on and what’s inspires them. The more informed you are, the better conversations you’ll have.
No matter how dumb or noobish your question seems, ask it. That’s the point. I guarantee other people in the room are wondering the same thing. Our speakers (Alex and Hayden) have been down many a road before in the web series world, and no doubt faced some of the same challenges you have. Find out what worked for them and what didn’t.
3. Introduce People, Be A Connector
It’s easy to stick to talking with
4. Follow-Up With Each Other
Whatever you think of business cards, for now they are still the easiest way to pass along contact info. So clearly you should have a good number with you for the Meetup. Take the ones you receive and follow-up promptly with the people you’d like to get to know better. (This is sounding like dating.) Let them know you met at the Tubefilter Web TV Meetup to give them a context for your email.
Above all come with a good attitude, open mind and have fun. We are super lucky to have such great speakers and of course all of your insanely talented people who make the Meetups what they are. Thank you for supporting this thriving creative community.
Can’t make it? You can still use the Meetup to connect with this bunch of web series junkies. Connect on Twitter, friend each other on Facebook and leave comments below for our speakers. Our friends at KoldCast TV will be there interviewing web stars and covering the evening from start to finish, so check back on the Meetup page for the juicy videos.
