The 2010 edition of the South by Southwest Interactive conference kicked off with a bang at the TechSet & Windows Phone party in Austin, Texas. Held at the Speakeasy, thousands of SXSW attendees flocked to get in on the fun and meet new friends and rekindle old friendships. Thanks to the tandem team of Stephanie Agresta and Brian Solis, the TechSet & Windows Phone party was rocking through the night, complete with a Bing photo booth, musical acts, and a DJ pumping out beats.
All the digerati were out in force this night and surely the TechSet Party help set the tone for the parties during the rest of South by Southwest. From seeing folks like Sean Percival, Robert Scoble, Dave Mathews, Jess Berlin, Chris Heuer, Scott Beale, Adam Ostrow, Adam Hirsch, Wm. Marc Salsberry and many others, the TechSet party was definitely the place to be.
Here are some photos from the event:

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.
