This premier Arizona eLearning Community Networking event is hosted by GAZeL and sponsored by various vendors.

eLearning Drinks is a vibrant and growing opportunity to socialize and network with others in the field of eLearning i n Arizona, the mecca of eLearning.

If you're an Entrepreneur/Company Owner, Instructional Designer, Job Seeker, Employer, Software Guru, Trainer, BizDev Pro, Tech Manager, Marketer, VC/Angel Investor, Professor,... Student, or even from the "user community" - "eLearning Drinks" is for YOU!

True to the disruptive nature of e-Learning, "eLearning Drinks" isn’t a "structured" event: NO AGENDA...NO SPEAKER...NO "MEETUP" GROUP... just a great exchange of ideas, business cards and banter!

Looking For Employees? Looking For A Job?

Representatives of companies who are hiring may identify themselves with a green dot on their name tag that we provide at each event so that they can be easily identified by those looking for new opportunities.

To add Minutes, open the Event and use the command link listed at the bottom of the post. Look for 'Post minutes to this event'. If you see 'View minutes', this means minutes have already been posted. View them and edit if you wish.

If you are using the 'Board Meeting Minutes' Book page method, please make sure you select the eLerning term 'board' to make sure the post appears in the main 'Minutes' listing.
