SIP Networking Party

The event was billed as a chance to meet after work, sip some wine (no pun intended) and chat with other Internet professionals. This event was well attended by members and those considering membership in SIP. Reps from "several" ISPs, Adobe Software, Ward Associates, EPROM Computers, Addison Wesley, and Price Waterhouse were also in attendance. One highlight was Adobe's pledged support for SIP. The evening provided an excellent opportunity for companies and individuals to mingle and discuss business.
