It was a great meet! I wish there was more time to network eitehr before or after the meet at the event itself. The after meetup party was a disaster with no space and loud music.

Are you kidding me? That was awesome! I loved Skype on wheels, and the massive phone hack in real time. One thing though, PLEASE no more sending 800 people to a bar that can fit 100 (maybe). There has to be sufficient time and space for networking. Keep up the good work peeps!

It was fantastic. Loved all the demos. Twilio and Texai nailed it.

NY Tech meetup is awesome..
All Demos really interesting and After Party can be much better, if they make it in BIG Place where people can talk comfortably.

Did Texai remind anyone else of George Bluth Sr.'s "Surrogate" in Arrested Development?

Hey everyone, I've been organizing the afterparties for a little while now and agree about the overcrowding issue.
The afterparty started out as something that a small group of people did after the NYTM, and now it's ballooned into something that's much larger than can fit in any single bar.
If anybody has a lead on an affordable location we could use that could handle a huge crowd a short walking distance from Skirball, please let me know!

How about two afterparties, one for drinking and one more for networking? 800 people are easily enough to fill two events, and it would be so much easier to find appropriate spaces.
Posted August 4, 2010 at 12:32 PM -
Tony Bacigalupo
Yes, I was thinking two locations as well. They could be divided up in a lot of creative ways; not sure what the best way to split things up would be yet. Thoughts?
Posted August 4, 2010 at 12:38 PM -

For about $50 you could have a block party style set up outside the Skirball Center. Stage, drinks, the works...of course this only would make sense during the warm months. http://bit.ly/9fzbwT

Demos were great, but is anyone else getting an influx of wrong numbers today? I've gotten three and can't help but think of my phone number scrolling down that screen last night. Curse you Twilio! Though, again, great demo.

Steven FlislerThe Twilio and the robot demo were simply amazing. They represented really unique companies and very interactive demos that went "beyond the presentation"
-
James LinderThis was one of the best meetups in a long time. Nearly all the projects were cool/useful and there was actual tech being shown off. :-)
-
Joe Vadakkekaraanother fantastic set of demos this month...keeps getting better n better. thnx joe Joe Vadakkekara HeyKiki.comChecked-in

Paula SchaferLove, love, love the event - and yes we need a bigger bar/space to network afterwards.

David Markowitzgreat mix of techie/consumer-oriented companies presenting...loved the idea of asking for suggestions rather than Qs

Lori / PeriodicMedia
Always fun, always interesting, always enlightening! Sometimes questions may not be the most fully thought-out, articulated, or even relevant. However, the elegant thing to do would be to answer as best and briefly as possible, then move on, rather than humiliate or disparage the questioner just to get a laugh.

KarimGreat Meet-up! If anyone is interested in learning how to develop and deploy native mobile apps using HTML,CSS and Javascript across multiple devices in a single development effort let me know. I'm with WorkLight - an exciting start-up focused on multi channel mobile app development.
-
Devin DrakeThe demo's by the startups were very interesting to watch. What I would recommend from a networking point of view is a space that is a little more formal / geared toward meeting new people instead of a a dark, cramped pub. From the perspective of somebody new in the city wanting to connect with new businesses people, this is not effective. Integrating the meetup app that was presented could be a good way to assist people to network. Just an idea. Otherwise thanks for a good function.

-
Erica Heinzi think it was the best NYTM in the year-and-a-half i've been going! inspiring demos, efficient pace, few ads, minimal technical problems, and random comedy. double thumbs up :)
-
ReneeThis presentation was much more interactive than others in the past (such as Twilio's presentation), making the experience much more engaging and enjoyable!
-
PankajThe demos were awesome but a slightly more more time for networking would be great. Perhaps a reception before the event for an hour?
-
Aaron KnightThis was the best of the 3 NYTM's I've been to. Highlights were the showmanship of the Twilio demo and the cool Skype robots.

David adler+1 guestReally loved last nights event. As the CEO of an media company (http://www....) that serves the event industry, my feeling is that events done properly are the really the programming of human interaction. This one was accomplished successful programming with a great user interface. It was first class, authentic, interactive, informative, very human and friendly. Face to face events are just in its infancy fueled by the power of the internet. Fantastic Job.

-
Eric GoldInteresting. Only my 2nd meetup - really happy to start meeting New York based technology folk. I like the chance to imagine and to explore out-of-the-box thinking for a few hours. Unique place and people!
-
Adriano BlanaruIt was my first NYTM and the quality of some of the projects that presented was definitely above my expectations. Good stuff.

Todd Hamilton+2 guestsbest one lately imo, texai was incredible, twilio demo was great and indaba looks immensely cool... Nate was on point too.
-
Aaron Harrisbest meetup yet. loved the mix of straight nyc web startups, robots, and cool things from msft.
-
-
Jonathan Sandersa)Nate forgot to introduce himself (important for the new attendees) b)delayed start not ideal but well contextually explained c)John from Twilio undercut impressiveness--crowd effect--of his demo by not emphaszing everyone should Turn on their ringers d)Waveryly Inn afterparty too cattle-penn like
-
Trace CohenThis was easily one of the better NYTM that I've been too. Great company presentations and amazing LIVE demos! Nate was also really funny!
-
-
Mike LewisA great meetup. Killer tech teams, good questions. Nate did a really smooth job moderating the ruffians.
-
-
Sunnykeeps getting better and better...Twilio and Texai ranked on the top for me, along with Indaba

GloriaOne of the best NY Tech meetups I've attended in awhile. Creative, interactive, and smart demos. Hosting duties were great too and kept the program moving. Can't wait for the next one. Can we have interim mini meet-ups before the next one? Thanks!
-
Eyal BinoJust can't get better than that. Congrats to all presenters for wonderful and inspiring presentations!!
-
K. Krasnow WatermanFabulous! Loved the real-time coding and the robot for pure tech. The rant and the debate with the music industry exec were quintessential NY spirit.
Based on the waiting-list line, even Skirball's not big enough for long.
