SMX After Dark Charity Party – It’s All for the Kids

Wednesday, October 3 – 9pm to 11pm

Join us for SMX After Dark, the annual networking charity event at SMX East! You’ll enjoy an open bar, snacks and an evening of networking with internet marketers from around the world!

After Dark 2012 will take place at one of the best rooftop lounges in Midtown – XVI Lounge (251 W 48th St, 16th Floor, NY 10019).

Last year the SMX community donated $11,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. We’re aiming to crush that this year. You’ll choose from three outstanding charities that benefit children in their own way.

Eighty-eight million U.S. residents lack the education, skills and credentials to participate in our growing information economy. At the same time, employer demand for skilled information workers is creating 3.7 million new IT jobs before 2016. Per Scholas, a non-profit based in the South Bronx, helps more than 400 low-income individuals annually learn new skills and get jobs in the technology sector. Nearly 80-percent of our graduates land jobs with average starting wages of $26,000 — more than 4 times what they earned before. We are excited about our future and the opportunities we are creating for thousands of economically dispossessed and dislocated workers, their families and communities.
