Unlimited Drinks Overview
Unlimited Drinks is the name given to the frequent SMS Text News events held in major cities around the world.
The event’s primary purpose is a thank-you to the site’s readers. We typically lay on a shocking amoutn of drinks and a copious level of different times of food.
The event’s second purpose is to offer excellent networking between readers. Every attendee is approved by the Editor, Ewan MacLeod and in this manner, the quality threshold is firmly set to 11 out of 10.
Anyone can come along to an event, simply email Ewan (ewan@smstextnews.com) anytime with the subject ‘UNLIMITED DRINKS = YES‘ and introduce yourself with a some information about why you should come along. You needn’t work in the mobile industry directly, but you must have a pasison for the industry and a desire to interact with others.
Attendance is free of charge, although you will be expected to give a business card to Ewan as he’ll use the site address (and your name) for the popular post-event write-up. If you’re not ‘public’ (i.e. you don’t want to be namechecked, please be explicit when you meet Ewan).
All Unlimited Drinks events are smoke free, music free (no thumping bass) and sweat free (good aircon wherever possible). Typically, most events start around 6.30pm and finish around 11pm.
There are no speeches, no powerpoints, no arsing about. Just friendly and passionate mobile people talking mobile.
