    What Bay Area location do you work in and/or live in that would be preferable for us to hold events and workshops (i.e., peninsula, East Bay, San Francisco, etc.)?

    What is your primary area of interest (i.e., tech, media, entertainment, IP, etc.)?

     

    If you are also interested in helping to coordinate and volunteer for this section, don't be shy!  Let us know in your email.  Don't forget, the Association is what you make it!
