You can’t really go to a major conference in the technology or social media industry without hearing about a really great party. Chances are that they’re usually run by the TechSet folks. You know these people…they’re Brian Solis and Steph Agresta and they’re going to be throwing it down again next week in Las Vegas at the 2010 edition of the BlogWorld & New Media Expo on opening night. As one of the official parties, it’s most likely going to be one of the hottest parties for bloggers, podcasters, social media professionals and friends on the Las Vegas Strip. Do you want to go? Just stop on by…the official fun begins at 8:30pm at the Aria Hotel in one of the coolest locations in the hotel: by the pool.

Yes, that’s right…TechSet has brought the pool back to the BlogWorld parties.

In what will surely go down as a great event, the fun doesn’t stop with the mingling of people and cool music being blasted throughout the night. Word on the street is that there are surprises in store as well, but no one really knows what they are. In any event, make sure you head on down to Aria Hotel on Thursday, October 14 and get ready to have some fun. Who knows, you might be mingling with the blogosphere’s best and brightest like David Armano, Ford’s Scott Monty, Chris Brogan, Mashable’s Brett Petersel and Karen Hartline, Whrrl’s very own Heather Meeker, Hootsuite’s Krystyl Baldwin, Mark Horvath, Vanessa Camones, Network Solutions’ Shashi Bellamkonda, Beth Kanter, Adrants’ Steve Hall, C.C. Chapman, Justin Levy and many more.

If you were at last year’s TechSet party at BlogWorld, you know that when Solis and Agresta throw a party, they go all out. With good beats and great showgirls posing for photos with guests, it was good times to be had by all.

So come dressed for the occasion and get ready to have some fun as TechSet kicks off BlogWorld 2010. You can make your plans for the TechSet party on Facebook now or by checking out who’s going on Plancast here.

Watch out Vegas – things are about to get bubblicious! Our crew is heading out tomorrow to the Blog World Expo to catch all the excitement.

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.

I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story…
