Tonight starts off my first Consumer Electronic Show (CES) experience with a bloggers networking party known as the Ultimate Blogger Dinner.
The party will be held Wednesday (tonight), Thursday and Friday at the Aquaknox inside The Venetian. Hosted by Social Media Club and Lenovo, with an open bar, open Wifi and even an open kitchen, it’s promising to be the party to be at! They will also be shooting a daily recap of CES that will be streamed live on Ustream also.
I’m trying to decide what “open wifi” means. Should I bring my laptop and sit in a corner and blog, or should I be up meeting and networking with other bloggers? Or maybe a little of both?
What do you think? Have you attended one of these events before? Maybe @chrisheuer or @kristiewells are around and can help me understand this event a little better.

I say get up and meet people. You have all the time in the world for the internet at home.
Besides, most of the people worth talking to online will be there. Why not strengthen your connections.

Me too Ashley, but I’ll see you Sunday, right?
Steven – I think you make a good point. I guess I can always bring my PSP and Twitter though
(my cell phone isn’t a smart phone)
“open wifi” the same as “open bar”?
Definitely meet as many people as you can face to face. You’ll be surprised at the friendships you can form.

Yeah I would say go with meeting as many people face to face because good blogger events don’t come around often and the internet is available almost all the time.

Yup. I’ll be in sometime on Sunday.

Hey Julie,
Can’t believe you and I did not get a chance to meet last night! Bummer. Hoping to cross paths soon so I can rectify that.
I know it is a little too late to help you on the big question – but the goal at UBD is to provide a comfortable, inviting space for folks to come in and upload photos/video or write a blog post to capture the days notes if they needed to – but I am all about encouraging conversations so loved that most folks didn’t crack open their laptops and chose to meet people instead.
Hoping you had a good time here.
