baldeagle,

Your friend will need business cards for the second and subsequent meetings at Southlake. VistaPrint.com is where most people get theirs. They do discuss this in orientation, but thought I would mention it just in case he wants to get a headstart.

Since you said he is on the forum here, I'm open to a PM and/or email dialog if there is anything I can do to help.

I am planning on going this week to both the Southlake meeting and the speciality meeting for Engineering and IT Professionals. YMMV as I am "planning" on going, but that's still just a plan till it happens

The CareerDFW (Career Search Network) specialty meeting is Tuesday morning at 0900 at:
Cornerstone Bible Church, 545 S Nolen Dr., Southlake, TX. The IT group meets in one room, the Engineering group meets in another (I'm with the Engineers). This is a much smaller group than at the Thursday session (perhaps 50 people vice 400).

Best of luck in the job search

Have him take a look at this networking group. http://www.southlakefocusgroup.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They will be able to help him with contacts in his target firms. I am a member and attend probably 3 out of 4 weeks. They (or I) can put him in contact with a speciality IT networking group as well. PM me for more info if you wish.
