Social Media Week = Awesomesauce
This past week was by far my best week in New York City. Thank you, Social Media Week.
The week was filled with different panels covering a variety of topics in the online space and how socialized web is effecting current and future media. Listening to panels and going to the insanely awesome after parties was amazing.
My greatest memory was working the door for the Digital Somethings event.
It was the VIP party for SMW on Monday night. Needless to say you needed an invite, and it’s pretty obvious I didn’t get one. Thankfully Damien messaged me asking if I would man the door. I gladly said yes.
What did this do for me? I feel like I showed some important people I’m willing to work. I hope they feel the same way too. Damien is a great guy, who gave me an awesome opportunity. That one doorman gig landed me endless handshakes and introductions. I met Jeff Pulver. JEFF PULVER!!
“The Future of Journalism” was my favorite panel. Thinking about the future of journalism and what it will bring newbie’s and veterans will be interesting, Vadim and Sree created a fantastic presentation that made me question my previous change from journalism to public relations.
All the nights were equally fulfilling, I learned so much from each panel and the people I was lucky to meet. Here is a shout out to all that I met. Why? Because they don’t realize how much this means to a lil’ ol’ college kid like myself. So thanks, to:
David Spinks- thanks for hanging with me most of the week.
These are just a handful of people, so if I forgot to mention you on the list. Please know that your presence still made an impact. Thanks again!
