Ad:Tech San Fran and Lake Tahoe Recap (With Pics!)
Posted by JasperP on April 29th, 2009
Wow. What can I say about ad:tech San Francisco? This has to rank as one of the best trips this year!
Day 1: Hotel Check-in
We drive up from Los Angeles to San Francisco and check-in to our room at around 8pm only to find out that our room doesn’t have cell phone reception! The hotel was kind of enough to let us change rooms with reception. Me and Nick just walk around Union Square, had some pizza and called it a night. This was probably the most boring day. lol
Day 2: The first day of the ad:tech!
We only got the expo hall pass so we pretty much spent the whole day there. We met up with Danielle Nagami, Justin Barr and walked around looking for traffic sources. The main thing was making new contacts and networking with other marketers in the industry. I also ran into Diana Lopez, Ryan Machara, James Seligman and some of the tracking202 crew (Roland, Aaron, Nana, Feldo, Steven, Wes, Man, Lorenzo, to name a few). Also saw Eleah and Shaunti from AKMG as well as Ruck and Michael Durham from Convert2Media.
At night time, we ended up going to the ppc.bz party at The Cat Club and watching the awesome acai berry jello stripper MMA fight. It was supposed to be a friendly wrestling match, but ended up in a cat fight between the strippers! We left and ended up getting drunk at the advertise.com party at Ruby Skye and the rest was history!
Day 3: Ad:tech Part 2
We hit up the second floor of ad:tech and met up with Eric Ngo and his friend Brian. Also met Feldo Nartapura and Yan Zhang from eAdvertising.com and had some interesting conversations (NSFW, lol… well maybe for Yan).
At night, we went to the very cool Meetup202 at MIGHTY. It was a cool social event to meet other people in the marketing industry. Wasn’t anything too crazy, just a nice networking mixer. Afterwards, we went to Advercircus where it was FREE DRINKS all night! That’s when we got all crazy. Ordering shots after shots was fun. Thanks to Clickbooth for hooking that up!
Day 4 & 5: Chillin in San Francisco
It was the end of the conference and I already felt like we’ve been there for like a week. So much partying and drinking every night, but it wasn’t over yet. We hung out at the tracking202 house for a little BBQ shindig and then toured around San Fran to the Golden Gate bridge and Fisherman’s wharf. We ended up going to a lounge later that night and playing “I have never…”. Interesting topics that night.
On Friday, we left for Lake Tahoe for our mini-snowboarding trip at the Squaw Valley Ski Resort.
Day 6 & 7: Snowboarding and Road Trip
Squaw Valley was insane! I can’t believe they were closing the resort already. I guess it costs too much to keep it open since no one wants to go snowboarding during that time. The snow was amazing because it snowed the night before so that was pretty cool.
Coming back to LA, we decided to just “wing” it on the way home. We drove to Carson City (which was absolutely BORING. You would think Las Vegas would be the capital of Nevada) and had lunch there. We also drove past Mammoth Lakes and stopped to take some pictures. We almost drove to Yosemite Park but it was closed.
We finally get home around midnight and we slept our asses off.
The End.
I just want to give a shoutout to all the people I met at ad:tech:
- Wes Mahler, Steven Truong, Roland Navarro, Aaron Glinski, Man Ma, and Nana Gilbert from Tracking202
- Nick Tumbocon, Joseph Regala, Danielle Nagami, Diana Lopez and Yan Zhang
- Lorenzo Green, Wes Moehlenbruck, Feldo Nartapura, Justin Barr, Christian Popoola, Silver Stoltsen
- Jimmy Ramos and Christian, Eric Ngo and Brian
- Jay Yukes and Danielle Vojta
- Ruck, Steve, MikeD and MikeK from Convert2Media
- Barman, Harrison Gevirtz, Ryan Eagle, and Jonathan Volk
- Frankie Brannon, James Seligman, Scott Elling, Adam Trentacoste, Steve Goltiao and Scott Pae
- Gemi Hartojo, Mauricio Vazquez, Joe Helewa, Allison Marks, Eleah Portollio, Shaunti Beaurline
- … and everyone else I missed!
All you guys made this one of the best trips ever. See you at ASE:NYC!!
