East Valley Thursday Mornings Tweetup
It’s never a dull time when the #EVTM (East Valley Thursday Mornings) crowd takes over Liberty Market in Gilbert. More than 30 people rotated in and out of this ongoing tweetup this morning. Some people arrive before 8 so they can talk, eat, and still make it to work. Most people start showing up soon after 8 am. There are the dedicated regulars, a large group of people who make it when they can, and always a few new faces.
It’s a friendly group, and this morning’s conversations got especially animated. Between bites of pancakes and quesadillas, and sips from bowls of caffé mocha and shots of cortadito, the conversations ranged from current work challenges, business successes, the recent SMAZ event, and even local sports scores. And that’s just the conversations I heard.
If you are self-employed or run a small business, mark your calendar for the last Thursday of each month. It’s a great chance to meet other small business people, get inspired, get some questions answered, and otherwise jump start your Thursday with great people. It’s organized through Twitter, so do a search on the hashtag #evtm to learn more.

This morning was awesome – as always. Liberty Market is great and so are the folks who come ot for #evtm. What I like best about our morning tweet-up is the people! This particular group is eclectic – all from different industries, different points of view, but always very nice & lots of fun
