Thankfull networking
AH YES, THANKSGIVING. A time to begin reflection on the first feast where two different peoples gathered to share in mutual bounty and benefit, and to remember all the things we are thankful for. As I sit far away from the bustle of the Metropolis, I reflect on the good quiet country life. Snow on the ground, hearty healthy meals, family, and a chance to rejuvenate before the blizzardy days of the holiday season smack us in the face like a gust of cold wind.
November 24th was a good barometer of what’s to come. The crowds swarmed inthe Puck Building for the New York New Media Association’s Super Cyber Suds and created a flurry of old and new happy faces. Strategically poised nearthe entrance was our own @NY booth, with brand spanking new buttons with the new logo (designed by LPNY Think, they got many kudos from the thousands who passed by). Catering was provided by La Casalinga and NYDelivery.com, but you know what an appetite schmoozing and browsing demo tables can wrok up. A bevy of demos there were indeed. Companies represented included Wille H Productions, Push Media Group,
The event, which attracted about 3,000 people, was the biggest in NYNMA’s history and it also marked the final go around for executive director Lori Schwab, who is leaving the organization after several years at the helm.
There were other events going on this week, but this reporter was busy tending to some transitional events in her life — i.e. investigating e-mail bomb threats and new job notices!
Be thankful you didn’t have to deal with that amidst the party circuit. But I would like to invite all of you to send me an e-mail with what you’re thankful of, and I will post them in The Scene — and start a Think Thank Board.
