Come and make new friends and turn new connections into long-term relationships at the next Downtown Drupal job fair on November 15, 2011. This event is being hosted by Droplabs, a Drupal event and coworking space in Downtown Los Angeles, the venue of the successful Downtown Drupal job fair in June, 2011.

If you're looking for Drupal talent and are interested in reaching as many up-and-coming Drupal developers, designers, themers and architects as possible, this month's meetup at Droplabs is a great place to be.
