Airplanista’s 2017 #Oshbash to Focus on Networking

(EUGENE, ORE) The Airplanista Aviation Blog will again host its annual #Oshbash Social Media Meetup event on Tuesday, July 25, 5:30 - 7:30PM in the EAA Press Tent at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. The event will focus on aviation entrepreneurs and offer a face-to-face opportunity for networking. The 2017 event is sponsored by Aircraft Spruce and Specialty Co. and its president, Jim Irwin. A tasting of Pork Barrel BBQ's Bacon Jerky - as seen on ABC-TV's Shark Tank program - will also be held, repeating an element of the 2016 event that was very popular with attendees."My #Oshbash events have always been a good place for aviation social media users to meet people from their online world in a real-time, personal setting," said Airplanista founder and Editor Dan Pimentel. "If you've spent time on social media trying to reach a faceless audience, I invite people at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh to come and hang out with friends, fans and followers, and bring plenty of business cards. Polish your elevator speech and be prepared to chat up invited influencers in media, print journalists, aviation podcasters, new media creatives, video producers and aviation radio personalities all gathered in one place." "Oshbash is a fun, social event where you can catch up with old friends, make new ones and network with people from across the aviation industry, said past attendee Jennifer Adams. "Plus, there is air conditioning and bacon jerky - it just doesn't get any better!" And Matthew Gjedde said this in describing the 2016 #Oshbash event: "Oshbash was THE premier social event at EAA AirVenture 2016. It was a great place to meet online friends from around the world, network, and talk all things aviation!"For more information about this free social media meetup event, visit oshbash.com or email organizer Dan Pimentel at editor@airplanista.com.
