Event Details
It's both a blessing and a curse—web startups work long hours building products that everyone loves only to face the threat of being killed by their own success.
This month, geekSessions tackles the topic of how to keep your web infrastructure alive and thriving when demand goes through the roof. We've put together a great panel of people who've experienced the "Hockey Stick" first hand and will come to share the lessons they've learned and answer your questions. Our speakers hail from Digg, Friendster, Meebo, and VideoEgg.
Join us on Tuesday, July 31st from 6 to 9 PM at the elegant City Club in downtown San Francisco. Come for the panel and stay for an informal catered reception to continue the discussion. Oh, and don't forget—there's an OPEN BAR!

Transportation: Parking can be a bit
tricky in the financial district at this time, so it's highly
recommended you take public transportation. If you must drive, your
best bet may be to park in the parking structure for the Metreon over
on 4th and Mission and walk to the event.
3 hours isn't enough, you say? Stay tuned
