The Hive Melbourne TONIGHT

The Hive is a get-together that happens on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.
This month's hive is happening tonight (Tuesday, 8th September) from 7pm, featuring Tom Howard and Fenn Bailey of Adioso.
Tom Howard was a panelist at one of our Entrepreneurs Week events - Monash's IT Start Ups Panel.
Come down to network with the entrepreneurial community and find like-minded people!
The Hive is held at The Order of Melbourne, 401 Swanston Street, just opposite RMIT.
Hope to see some of you there - shoot us an email at hi@agentsofchange.org.au if you're going :)
A little bit more about Tom Howard and Fenn Bailey (http://adioso.com/au):
Tom Howard and Fenn Bailey are the entrepreneurs behind Adioso.com, the world’s only fully-flexible, natural language flight search tool, making it simple for travellers to find cheap flights and cool destinations. With the backing of some of Silicon Valley’s finest they are determined to make Adioso the world’s leading flight search and destination info site for backpackers and casual travellers.
In January 2008 Adioso was launched from an internet cafe in Hanoi, Vietnam, quickly establishing a loyal following of backpacking enthusiasts and grey nomads, and building just enough traction to make the idea worth pursuing seriously.
Cut to earlier this year where after being accepted to a startup funding & mentoring program in Mountain View, California, Tom and Fenn moved the USA for three months to work on Adioso full time. At the end of the program in March they presented the second beta version to a room full of leading Silicon Valley identities, quickly securing a further round of seed funding from a range of prominent angel investors.
Now back in Melbourne they continue to develop the site and prepare for a full public launch and a return to Silicon Valley later in the year.
