Providing innovators with a place to connect with the media, influential bloggers, the marketplace and each other.
Another terrific night with totally cool Massachusetts Innovators, albeit a bit delayed by the snowstorm that wasn’t. (A few of the companies and experts had to reschedule due to the date change but they will be added to the March and April events.) A slightly reduced group met at the Waltham IBM Innovation Center to check out the February “class” of new products, do some networking and ask the experts some questions — darn that reschedule. But we were able to stream the event for the first time — thanks, Steve Andrada from Andrada Productions!!!
We had some great special guests — absolutely thrilled to have Steve Garfield hanging in the Experts Corner, signing copies of his book Get Seen. Before MassInno, he had included us in a roundup for local tweetups and promoted the event on his Get Seen website. (Greenhorn Connect and Bostontweetup.com also helped promote the event!) Steve even took some pictures and posted them to his more than ample Flickr account. Larry Begley from .406 Ventures was a particularly popular Expert conversation. Check out the video from the Expert introductions in “The Big Room.” Also big thanks to Conversion Associates who came with their new Lytiks tool — it makes Web analytics easy. They were signing up betas over the course of the evening and we hope to have them back as a full scale presenter when they are ready to launch.
The Twitterstream was lively as usual — check out the tweets using the hash #min11. And, once again, our friends at BostInnovation were first out of the box with a #MIN11 recap. We did get a view to what people did AFTER MassInno with Paul Harvey’s “What I’m Drinking Tonight” blog post. (Yes, we’re still hoping to get one of the innovative local breweries to join us for a future Mass Innovation Nights. What do you think, guys?)
Check out our video montage!
