Internet Week NY 2009 has come and gone, but its legacy will carry us throughout the coming year until we convene again at IWNY 2010.
PepsiCo and the TechSet were charged with kicking-off Internet Week by bubbling-up innovation and spotlighting global entrepreneurship at the Bubble Lounge on a beautiful New York evening. Dare I say that it was bub.blicio.us?
PepsiCo has been among those companies that truly understand and consistently demonstrate the activity, engagement, and potential for genuine participation and community cultivation.
It’s about people. And, that’s serves as the very foundation for the TechSet.
PepsiCo, along with the TechSet (Stephanie Agresta and yours truly) and a venue filled with new creativity and passion , indeed commemorated the vivacity of imagination and the people who transform ideas into realty – embodying the true essence and spirit of InternetWeek.
We toasted to the artistry of innovation and basked in the inspiration that spilt over not from our glasses, but from the vision and personality that fills NYC during Internet Week.
Save the date. Monday June 1st, 6-8 pm at the Bubble Lounge NY. Stephanie Agresta and I request the honor of your presence…RSVP Here.
Internet Week NY 2009 is approaching and the TechSet kick off Internet Week by bubbling-up innovation with PepsiCo…

PepsiCo and The TechSet invite you to sparkle during InternetWeek in NY with a celebration of new tech, creativity, passion and vision on June 1st. And, where else can we commemorate the vivacity of imagination and the people who transform ideas into realty than the Bubble Lounge…where brilliance always bubbles-up.

The TechSet and Windows Mobile hosted very special event at the classic Belmont Lounge on Friday March 13th during SXSW Interactive 2009.
Guests relived the unique and stylish genre that conjured scenes from Las Vegas and Palm Springs during the Sinatra era. We were surrounded by incredible and pioneering entrepreneurs and influencers as we created our own Rat Pack rich with relationships that will propel us long after the curtain closed on SXSW.
In the end, 1,015 guests helped create one of the most exciting after dark events during SXSW.
Stephanie Agresta, the team at Windows Mobile, and I thank you for spending part of your evening with us!
I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story…
