word and pictures by Brian Solis
There are groups of people around the country that inspire me. They’re changing the tech world and they’re bringing us along for the ride. It’s a humanizing reminder that we actually don’t know everything and that the only way to continue to keep up with the rapid-fire evolution of the new Web is to focus on building relationships.
People count for everything and that’s why we’re collectively defining the social economy.
Enter the TechSet, the people who are actively defining the new Web landscape and contributing to the lucrative and industry-defining social economy along the way.
The Techset is you.
Stephanie Agresta and I organized The Techset to celebrate you and your contributions to the new web and the relationships and new trails we blaze together.
On the afternoon of June 7th, we brought the rooftop parties from the West Coast to the Right Coast while connecting with NY-based entrepreneurs and those in town for InternetWeek. Special guests from the blogosphere as well as VCs, developers, and founders took over the rooftop of the stylish Hotel Gansevoort in the chic part of NY made popular by the Sex and the City franchise.
I was humbled.
New York is a thriving tech community rich with innovation, brilliance, and a refreshing spirit of entrepreneurialism. It’s contributing to the evolution of a more meaningful and productive Web. We were lucky to be part of it for a day.
Thank you to everyone who made the TechSet event so special.

I’m so sorry I missed the party. It looks like you guys had so much fun. The pics look great. I’m glad you had fun in NYC and got to hang out with those who make social media come to life. I’ll be sure not to miss Techset next year.
It’s great to put some faces together with names I’ve seen on the net. Looks like y’all found a way to keep cool on this absurdly hot weekend.
You threw a great party at the hippest location! My hat is off to you and Stephanie.
Thanks again for everything.
Who needs promo shots from “Sex and The City?” Great photos of beautiful people and cars!
Brian, your pictures are amazing man. The color, the exposure, it’s… awesome. Well done, and looks like a really fun party.
Awesome pictures as always Brian. Thanks for a great party and after party! When you come to Chicago next I’m making you dinner!
XOXO
