Mashable/Regator Mixer Atlanta – The Definitive Guide

It’s almost here! The Mashable Mixer Atlanta in partnership with Regator, Mashable’s first Georgia event, is tomorrow, May 14, 2009. Atlanta’s own Regator is proud to be co-hosting with Mashable, the world’s largest blog focused exclusively on Web 2.0 and social networking news. 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.

Please note that THE VENUE HAS CHANGED. Due to the huge response, we moved to a bigger venue to accommodate more guests. The event will now be held at The Trolley Barn in Inman Park (963 Edgewood Avenue), a beautifully restored 1800s trolley depot. 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.

Ticket Information
This event is sold out, so if you have not reserved a ticket you will not be admitted to the event. Due to strict capacity limits we cannot let you in if you just show up (even if you bribe us). There will be an open afterparty (see below), which you’re more than welcome to come to. Photo ID will be required when checking in.
