It’s officially 2010 and that means a new year of opportunities to get out there in the community and make your entrepreneurial goals a reality. There are a number of events to check out this week and some great ones coming up in January you should sign up for and plan to attend. The office hours movement is also in full swing, which has led to a new segment, “Office Hours Round Up,” so be sure to check out those opportunities as well. It’s a great time to be an entrepreneur in Boston. Hope to see you out there.
