NEONCRM BY Z2 SYSTEMS, INC. Think Global. Drink Local. Clive Bar, 609 Davis St., 6:30–midnight Austin music. Austin food. Austin beer. Join fellow NTCers at Clive Bar on Rainey Street for live Bluegrass from Bottom Dollar String Band, local food, and a “firkin” of beer (small keg) brewed specially for NeonCRM. Every attendee also gets a raffle ticket for the chance to have a meaningful donation made to a charity of your choice! This party is being thrown by NeonCRM, but is a networking opportunity and celebration for NTC attendees… not a “firkin” sales pitch. Stop by booth #422 to get free drink tickets.
