Summermash Miami

This past weekend, Mashable was in South Florida as part of the Summermash US tour. Held at the Opium Garden in Miami Beach, the event featured some of the hottest startups around and a myriad of important executives for jamblr to network with.

Pete Cashmore, the founder of Mashable, made a guest appearance that ignited the entire party. In addition to the free drinks and raffle giveaways, all attendees were having quite an amazing time meeting new like-minded people.

Right before the Summermash event, which took place at 7pm, Social Media Camp gathered together a ton of creative types to discuss all things social on the web. With a similar setup and environment to your typical Bar Camps around the nation, those who were inclined to present a topic did so, while the shy introverts of the gathering sat around and learned a great deal from them.

All in all, my weekend in South Florida was a wonderful getaway. Not only did I get to meet some extremely cool people, but I got to visit my family and spend quality time with the woman that is most important in my life. It was very relaxing and one of the more pleasurable experiences of my 2008 thus far.
