We are Nancy Chen-Salgado and Edwin Salgado, founders of OfficeNinjas. (Yes, we're married!)

This is our story.

We actually got started as the founders of GroupBookers, an online platform that allows you to easily book room blocks and meeting space at hotels.

Most of our users were executive assistants and office managers. We got to be friends with many of them,

and time and time again, we were amazed of the amount of work they do.

We started to think of them as Office Ninjas.

And whether your title is Office Manager, Office Admin, Admin Assistant, Operations Manager, Facilities Manager, or Executive Assistant, you are all Undetected yet Powerful Office Ninjas.

Sound familiar?

After all, every single one of you is an Office Ninja.

To thank them for everything they do, we decided to throw an appreciation event for admins in Silicon Valley.

For the event to be as beneficial as possible, we invited other tech companies to attend and showcase their products and services that would make admins' work lives easier.

All we can say is....wow! It was a huge success. Everyone enjoyed learning about the latest technologies and mixing & mingling with other Office Ninjas from the area.

Here are a few things that people had to say about the very first Office Ninjas Tech event.

It's all about sharing what can make things easier and more fun!

Everyone goes away happy!

Admins from other cities requested events of their own, and so far we’ve had the pleasure of putting on events in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, NYC, Santa Monica, and now Seattle.

We've had some great partners to help spread the word. IAAP Alaska-Washington chapter really helped spread the word about tonight's event.

Emails came flooding in from around the world - We want more OfficeNinjas! So we started our blog, for those who were not able to attend an ONT event. Office Ninjas began to contribute blog posts and share with others.

After listening to the community it was clear that there was a need for a collaborative, tech admin community.

So it became official -- OfficeNinjas is *the* place where admins and tech meet.

And, we take the building part seriously. After all, Edwin is an engineer.

In fact, we're excited to be rolling out an online community, with the first feature being a community-curated directory of software, products, and services.

Starting early next year, you'll be able to share products and services you use, and communicate and collaborate with other Office Ninjas online.

There are lots of ways you can get involved, and we hope you will!

For example, you could contribute to our blog site; join the OfficeNinjas review board that reviews blog posts, products, or services; or be early users of our pre-launch platform and be part of the team shaping the platform to be the best it can be.
