Scenes from the Magento Imagine eCommerce Conference

February 17, 2011 by John Suder

The Magento Imagine eCommerce Conference took place last week in Los Angeles. Hats off to the Magento team for putting together this amazing sold-out event. Our minds are reeling from all that happened out there, so we’re still working on our recap.

In the meantime, here’s a video review and some images from the event:

Take the SUMOs Bowling: SUMO Heavy Co-Sponsors the PhilaMade 2011 Kickoff Party.

February 4, 2011 by John Suder

PhilaMade is a newly formed networking group for creative professionals living/working in the 215/610 area code.

Group organizer Joe Rinaldi (of Happy Cog) asked us (along with MissionStaff) to help sponsor their 2011 kick-off party and we were more than happy to help out.

Over 60 people showed up at North Bowl in Northern Liberties to bowl a few frames, hoist many Kensingers and share some good grub (including the now-famous North Bowl Tater Tots).

As someone who’s made the rounds in the Philly business networking scene, it was a refreshing change (no insurance salesman). The crowd was full of like-minded folks working and engaging in all forms of creative endeavours.

We look forward to more of these meet-ups and encourage you to check them out on Facebook and connect with some really great people.

Update: A great set of event photos by Jennifer Helene are now up on the PhilaMade Flickr page.
