Are you going to South by Southwest this year? If so, one of the biggest parties of the conference is set to be the TechSet party on Friday, March 12 at Speakeasy in Austin, TX. I was fortunate enough to make it into the TechSet party last year and it was definitely a great event. This year it’s sponsored by Windows Phone and will bring out all the digerati to play, drink and conversate with one another. If there’s one place you want to be seen, then look no further because the TechSet party is where it’s at. You’ll be able to meet all sorts of influencers like Brian Solis, Jeremiah Owyang, Robert Scoble, Jess Berlin, Stephanie Agresta, Cathy Brooks and many others.
This is the party that will be a benchmark for the other events happening throughout this year’s South by Southwest Interactive conference. It all goes down on March 12. No tickets required, but make sure you RSVP before you get here. And I’ll be there taking photos so if you’re there, drop be a line and let me know so your photo could be featured here on Bub.blicio.us.
But wait, you still want to know who’s been to the TechSet party? Here’s some photos from last year’s event courtesy of Brian Solis:

In the latest edition of Blogworld, the folks at TechSet weren’t shy about bringing their awesome party to Sin City. Sponsored by Thoora.com and Anheuser-Busch, one of the most popular events of the week was held at The Bank in the world-famous Bellagio Casino & Hotel. It was here that bloggers, new media & social folks gathered to celebrate camaraderie and the start of one of the largest technology conferences in the country. The great organizers, including Stephanie Agresta and Brian Solis, brought in some legendary Las Vegas showgirls to help create a more Vegas-style atmosphere and the DJs kept the party going for most of the night.
TechSet’s reputation has even brought out some celebrities to party the night away, including CNN anchor and Blogworld keynote panelist Don Lemon, Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, Emily Grimmel, the COO of Current TV Joanna Drake Earl, renowned music producer Jermaine Dupri, and even more!
Overall, the TechSet party really was a great success and with music and drinks flowing, there was definitely ample opportunity for people to unleash their inner celebrity and be rockstars.
Here are some photos of the event:
