JANUARY 23: DMMBA Happy Hour featuring Tom Chernaik, CEO of CMP.LY

Please join us for our first DMMBA party of 2012! We know this is going to be another great year for the digital media and startup communities in New York.  We love bringing you together to exchange ideas, explore new partnerships, and find your next big job opportunities.

This month we’ll be joined by Tom Chernaik, founder and CEO of CMP.LY, the leading provider of tools for online compliance with regulations governing bloggers, advertisers, social media professionals (eg- promoted Tweeters), and all others engaged in the online conversation. With so much attention being paid to the heavy-handed legislation of SOPA and PIPA that curbs freedom of online speech, it will be great to hear how Tom launched CMP.LY to make online media sharing simpler and more transparent for consumers and professionals alike.

The event is returning to Solas (232 East Ninth Street) so register on our DMMBA-Eventbrite page and Save-the-Date in your calendar.

Panoramic video attachment for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s.We also want to thank Kogeto for joining us for the fourth month in a row to raffle off another “Dot”, their incredible panoramic video camera attachment for the iPhone 4/4s. We’ve given away a dozen Dots so far and everyone who gets one, loves it. Come to the party for a chance to win your own BUT if you’re a true gadget lover then you can just go buy it from Kogeto’s online store — http://bit.ly/sDM1Gm.

Penguin’s DK: Goodbye Books, Hello ‘Flat’ Content. Make Once, Use Anywhere
