Member Benefits, Social Networking Groups & New Alliances

While spring is setting in bringing warm and nice weather, the NetSAP team has been trying to come up with new ways to provide incentives to our members, creating groups on social networking sites to enable more interaction between members outside of NetSAP events and establishing partnerships with new organizations in order to bring a wide array of events to you.

So far the year has progressed well. Although we have received a lot of positive feedback from our members, there is much scope for improvement and we are always looking forward to new ideas and feedback from you. Meanwhile, as we continue to work, I wanted to take time to update you on what we have achieved on different fronts so far...

Member Benefits at NetSAP & Alliance partner events

Take advantage of heavy discounts at NetSAP events and events organized by our alliance partners.

Our new alliance partner MIT Sloan Alumni Club of Boston is organizing the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium on May 17th. Get an exclusive discount of approx 20% when you register for this event. If you cannot spend a day at this conference, attend the NetSAP seminar on Launching Successful Businesses the same night for a discounted fee of $5.


Our alliance partner TiE-Boston is organizing TiECON East, one of the largest entrepreneurial innovation conferences' from June 14th - June 15th. Register for this conference at a special discounted price (Discount code will be emailed to NetSAP members)

We have established a new partnership with the Peabody Essex Museum. Get a discount of 15% on the ticketed entrance price at the museum.

Every NetSAP member will also be getting a complimentary 2-year subscription to Indus Business Journal, a prominent fortnightly business newspaper that provides exclusive business, franchise and healthcare news and insights.

Check for more alliance partner events on our forum which provide special discounts to NetSAP Members. We are also working on issuing membership cards to new members as soon as possible. If you do not have your membership card please email us and we can send a verification note to the alliance partner organization whose event you want to attend.

Needless to say, members always get priority and discounts at NetSAP events. We are committed to making your NetSAP membership worthwhile, so, watch out for more incentives in future.

NetSAP-Boston Group on LinkedIn, Friendster & Orkut

Our group on LinkedIn was launched on May 4th and is exclusively for NetSAP members. Some of you may have already received an invite from us to join the group. If you have not received an invite yet, you will be getting one soon. Use this group to not only network with other NetSAP members but also to network with speakers, mentors and panelists from our events. Explore career opportunities and build relationships that will help you grow in your profession.

Our group on Friendster has been around for sometime. If you are on friendster, go to groups and search for "NetSAP-Boston". Look for the group with the image shown on the left and join our group.

Our group on Orkut was launched recently. So if you are on orkut, click on this link to access the NetSAP-Boston Orkut group. Use Friendster and Orkut to build your social network.
