| Another month – another Sold Out event. Last night the SMC Seattle meeting for July 2009 was held at the Lake Union Cafe in Seattle. RealNetworks parlayed the great weather, venue, and of course the great people of the Seattle social media community to launch RealPlayer SP. |   |
RealPlayer SP (part of RealNetworks) was the sponsor this month. It was great to see Rob Glaser – Founder, Chairman and CEO of 
We were honored to have this SMC Seattle event utilized as the launch pad for a new product --- this was a first. We hope to see more and more companies share their new offerings with the Social Media community on future launch efforts.
Lacy Kemp of RealNetworks was the person that brought all of this together. Lacy is part of the Social Media team at RealNetworks and can be found tweeting about work and her outside of work passions @RealTweeter. Lacy is an action sports fanatic including Mountain Biking --- which made me like her right away.
- Shauna Causey, Kenji Onozawa, and Chris Pirillo were manning the live streaming of the event
- Danielle Morrill, Elliot Pesut, and Kristy Bolsinger were engaged in deep conversations with lots of people.
- Shannon Paul was also there. She is a recent transplant to Seattle from Detroit. Welcome the the Pacific Northwest.
We are fortunate to have such a great team behind the scenes of the SMC Seattle events. Rachel Bergstedt, Joann Jen, and Kevin Urie are a few of the people that keep the SMC Seattle events running like clockwork. A big thanks to them for their time to put all the pieces in place.
Thanks again to RealNetworks and RealPlayer SP for sponsoring the July event. We look forward to working with the RealNetworks team for many years.
Next up
August 18th --- We will post a link for the event shortly. We look forward to seeing you at the next SMC Seattle event.
