Adaptive Path

Love their conferences. Love them.
I’ve attended two in the past 5 years and I still use the slides.
I have a crush on this company! So many smart, effective, persuasive UX designers. They make the rest of us look good. Gush! Idols!

Adaptive Path hosted an event in October for the San Francisco American Marketing Association with guest speaker Chris Heuer from Social Media Club. The event revolved around social media; everything from blogs, to tag words, branding yourself on the internet, to any and everything else. Chris was very knowledgeable and he’s quite an interesting guy. I now follow him on Twitter, myself.
The room the SFAMA rented from Adaptive Path was spacious, had plenty of seating set up with plenty of food, a huge screen and projector. The people that worked downstairs were cool and directed us to where we needed to be when we walked in the wrong door at first. He didn’t seem at all bothered when we interrupted his work. Adaptive Path will be hosting another SFAMA event in January with a guest speaker on the future of social networks.
As an event venue, this place kicks ass, as a host, they were awesome, so I’ll have to go ahead and agree with Autumn K. in that I’m sure they’re also great at what they also do normally!

Not sure what these sexy sexy smartypants do all day long, but I can say they know how to throw a party. Yes, I was allowed in. No, I did not embarass myself or my man and I even stayed mostly sober for the hour and a half we were there.
Seriously– hotty hot nerdy boys galore! And a taco truck! And decent wine! And not-​super-​cheesey 80s music (that I DID NOT dance on the bar to). And prom decorations (not sure if that was intentional but I am 100% sure that they rocked). And a prom-​picture-​backdrop/​photographer setup (complete with fancy costumes…). And maccaroons! OK, so maybe I got a little drunk. But did I mention there was hot geek action all over the place? And yes, my hot geek was by far the hottest.
**PartyBot, resident boyfriend, informed me that these guys do User Interface design and such AND they are apparently out of this world! So hit em up for some tech action if that’s what you’re into. If not, try to score an invite to next year’s anniversary party. Hot nerdy tech boys only get better with age…
