Mashable/Regator Mixer Atlanta: Venue Change and More Tickets

As many of you know–and I do mean MANY–Regator is working with our friends at Mashable to co-host the first-ever Mashable event in Atlanta on May 14. Tickets sold out fast. We were inundated via Twitter, email, Facebook, and phone with messages from people who hadn’t acted quickly enough and wanted to know how they could get tickets. Unfortunately, the PASTE magazine crew works out of a very hip, decidedly un-cavernous office space in Decatur rather than an enormous bunker or grand ballroom, so even though we hated hearing the stories of disappointment, we couldn’t even hook our besties up. Then we had a eureka moment: We’re gonna need a bigger boat! And fortunately for us, a bigger boat was indeed available.

Trolley Barn

We’re moving to a larger space and selling an additional 100 tickets. If you miss out on these, we are not moving it to the Georgia Dome, so don’t even ask. Just hurry and get yours now.

The event will now be held at The Trolley Barn in Inman Park (963 Edgewood Avenue), the beautifully restored 1800s trolley depot you see on the left. It is easily accessible from I75/85 Edgewood Avenue and Butler Street exits and just one block away from the Inman Park MARTA station. We hope you’ll join us for an even bigger evening of socializing and top-notch networking opportunities along with an open bar, music from DJ Preston Craig of kissatlanta.com, light hors d’oeuvres, and good times.

Our very special guests from Mashable are Editor-in-Chief Adam Ostrow, COO Adam Hirsch, Features Editor Sharon Feder, and East Coast Events Coordinator Bret Petersel. Also in attendance will be Regator’s three cofounders–Chris Turner, Kimberly Turner, and Scott Lockhart–as well as the best and brightest minds in the social media, tech, startup, blogging, media, and creative communities in Atlanta and across the Southeast.

Tickets are on sale now via Eventbrite. Hope to see you there!

None of this would be possible without our amazing sponsors. A big thank you to all these businesses, all of which are important to us not only because of their generous support for this event but because these are exactly the sort of creative, smart companies that are making Atlanta impossible to ignore on the national stage.

The opening up for more tickets and the whole limited avail thing is totally coming off as a Stompernet-scheme-esque. But I guess you have to just go all out if you are competing with the Catalina Wine Mixer.

Greg – What on earth are you talking about my friend? stompernet?
Here’s how this all went down… We had the Paste Magazine offices as our original venue, we well and truly filled that to capacity on the first round of ticket sales. But an unbelievable number people still wanted in, so we bit the bullet and spent the money and time to find a larger venue. In turn, this allowed us to have more people attend. Nothing sinister. As far as the Catalina Wine Mixer… I have absolutely no idea what it is. But if it comes down to it, I know where I’d want to be. Cheers mate.

The trolley barn is a great little venue and I, for one, am glad to see the event get that kind of positive response. Can’t wait to see everyone for a fun evening!

Cheers, Scott.

I’m looking for opportunities to network with my fellow Mashable attendees.

I started a web development company (Custom Software by Preston) a few years ago. We improve business processes through developing custom software solutions (using .Net, ColdFusion, Ruby on Rails, Java, you name it!). We have quite a diverse set of IT skills and experience.

Let me know if you want to chat! Maybe we can come up with a way to work together!

Thanks,

Brett Miller
