As a diverse small-business, Squeaky understands the benefits of networking with others in the web/tech community and we are constantly on the look out for new events and meet ups around the city. Passionate internet enthusiasts typically frequent these events and can provide valuable insight into the industry.

Internet Week New York has partnered with the creator of the Webutante Ball (Richard Blakely) to create this awesome networking event. There is a limit to number of guests however but, tickets are also ridiculously inexpensive.
