Thanks to everyone who attended and participated in our event on Thursday night “Social Media & Presidential Politics” the first one in a series of programs NY:MIEG will be producing in partnership with The Columbia Business School Alumni Club of New York.

First a special thanks to my colleagues Stephan Goldsand and Cecilia Pineda Feret from CBSACNY, Nikki Stelma and Sarah Horn from Samsung Experience, Charles Schmidt from Bouchon Bakery and a special thanks to our fantastic panel: Mike Germano (Carrot Creative), Rachel Sterne (GroundReport.com), Sarah Bernard (236.com), Howard Greenstein (The Harbrooke Group) and, of course our moderator, Ellis Henican (Newsday and Fox News Channel)

That said, Mike wrote a nice writeup about the event in his blog CarrotBlog that I thought you’d find of interest.

Last night I had the privilege of being a panel member for the Social Media and Presidential Elections Conference at the Samsung Experience on Columbus Circle. I wanted to thank the organizers: NY:MIEG, E.Factor and CBSAC/NY for putting on a smart and engaging affair. I liked seeing how all the different panel members were using social media to influence and inform everyday people about important political issues.

Ellis Henican did a great job moderating the event, everything flowed smoothly and the packed audience was interested from start to finish. It was interesting to see how the folks at 23/6 are using humor to offer an alternative view on the political scene.
