SMB Nation Fall: Five Parties Will Pack Plenty of Punch

  • Written by The VAR Guy 1
  • October 19, 2010
The SMB Nation Fall conference (Oct. 22-24, Las Vegas) is set to attract hundreds of VARs and IT service providers -- and maybe even a former heavyweight champion of the world. There will be plenty of business chatter during the daytime sessions. But when the sun sets, at least five conference parties will arise. Here's a look at the potential evening action, which should pack plenty of punch.

The SMB Nation Fall conference (Oct. 22-24, Las Vegas) is set to attract hundreds of VARs and IT service providers — and maybe even a former heavyweight champion of the world. There will be plenty of business chatter during the daytime sessions. But when the sun sets, at least five conference parties will arise. Here’s a look at the potential evening action, which should pack plenty of punch.

After checking in with a range of SMB Nation experts, bikers and maybe even a boxer or two, here’s the event party lineup so far:

Thursday Night, Oct. 21: Third Tier/Kerio Happy Hour by invitation only. Alas, The VAR Guy won’t arrive in time for this happy hour — a fact that makes our resident blogger quite sad.

Thursday Night, Oct. 21, 8:00 p.m.: The Pocket MBA College Kegger, hosted in Harryb’s hotel room. It’s the penthouse suite, folks. Follow @smbnation on Twitter for potential details, The VAR Guy hears.

Friday Night, Oct. 22, 7:00 p.m. to Midnight: The ASCII Cup. It’s a VIP party, which begs the question: Can The VAR Guy gain entry? Hosted in Caesar’s Palace. Have some drinks, lose a tooth, and maybe — just maybe — pet a tiger with former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson. Will Tyson really be in the house? The VAR Guy hasn’t been able to confirm that ringside rumor.

Saturday Night, Oct. 23, 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: The Autotask party by invitation only. Rumor has it Cloud Services Depot will lend a hand with the bash. Stop by the Autotask booth for details, The VAR Guy hears.

Sunday Night, Oct. 24, 8:00 p.m. to… whenever: A CompTIA Kegger in Harryb’s hotel room — assuming the room recovers in time from the Thursday night bash. Once again, conference insiders say attendees should follow @smbnation for details.

So, which parties will The VAR Guy attend? The world may never know… because our resident blogger no longer tweets or blogs from industry bashes… Or does he? Hmmm…

    Vegas is so for sure going to totally rock dude! Sorry, that is about as “Spicoli” as I can get for you.

    The rumor is true. If you know someone from Cloud Services Depot, Microsoft’s SBSC team or Vaultlogix you may be able to sweet talk them into a VIP access pass as they are all chipping in to make the Autotask Rocks the Cloud Party awesome. We will be just across the street from SMB Nation at the ultra exclusive and world famos Pure Nightclube.

    See you there!

    I’ll try to make as many of these as possible . . . for research purposes of course. See you there.

    Gosh, The VAR Guy’s corporate office sure hopes The VAR Guy doesn’t tweet from keggers. But if The VAR Guy does, The VAR Guy’s corporate office may just show up and do a keg stand. It has been known to happen.

    [email protected]: The VAR Guy looks forward to catching up
    [email protected]: Keggers or snackage? Hmmm… Snackage is always the priority.

    Amy – As I recall Susan Bradly saying last year, “What happens in Vegas, stays on Facebook”.
