Phil Yanov was the keynote speaker for Tuesday’s Social Media Club in Greenville. His presentation, Five steps to finding and building your pack of wolves, was about finding and building a community to support your cause or business. Jim Sharp took pictures of the event, and we present them below. (Just in case you were there.)

It looks like the cold weather did not keep people away Tech After Five. We had a good crowd and there seemed to be a lot happening in the room. Check out this month’s photos:

Thanks to Patrick Greer for capturing this month’s event.

The photos from October’s Tech After Five have been posted and they look better than ever. Thanks to Wayne Culpepper of FishEye Studios for getting the shots. The next Tech After Five is November 19.

Adam Gautsch has added some interesting pictures to the GSATC Photo Pool from our July Tech After Five. He decided to shoot from the hip. Take a look at what he got.

What are people saying about Tech After Five? We got this in the mail after our July event:

Ta5 was an excellent experience for myself and my team. Seeing old friends and meeting new ones in a focused (read: socially engaging) environment brought a smile to my face. Last night my team met our first potential investor, which raised the group’s morale tremendously, I can honestly say I’ve never been more excited about anything than I am now after meeting the people we have at Ta5.

We’ve had more contributions to our photos from Tech After Five last month. (So you may want to look and see if you were there.) The following photo is part of a group sent to us by Kelly Conant:

We also got a number of great pix from Adam Gautsch:

RSVP for July

The Next Tech After Five is July 16. RSVP Online.

We had another record crowd at Tech After Five last night in a couple of ways. Of course, every month the crowd gets bigger and we hear more stories of great connections being made, but I think I see more cameras in the room as well. If you got pictures and would like to share, just post them to Flickr and tag them with Ta5 and send me an email or use our comment form to let me know how to find them.

Thanks again to Adam Gautsch for taking photos at May’s Tech After Five. The crowd keeps getting bigger and each month we hear more stories of great connections at the event. The Startup Zone area featured ZipitWireless, and AtheleteFocus.com showing off the latest version of their device and website, respectively.

A few words from the attendees of May’s Tech After Five:

• Even at my first meeting I met A) someone I helped, B) someone who is now helping me, C) an old friend I had not seen in a while, and D) a personality in local technology media. Definitely attend next month!
• The sponsor was very cordial, the venue is great. Looking forward to returning.
• Tech After Five allows me to network with my fellow geeks and IT folks, and at this stage of my career that type of networking is invaluable.
• It has been great to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. Tech After Five is the perfect setting to make new connections.
• Good beer. Friendly people. It’s like Cheers for tech nerds… except everybody doesn’t know you’re name, but we have name tags so it’s cool. ;D
• Tech After Five is drawing a great group … that is giving our sales group an opportunity to network that we might not have otherwise and is great exposure for our company.

Tech After Five is the Third Wednesday of every month at Barley’s Taproom. RSVP online and the first beer is on us. Want to know why? Watch this.

Thanks to Keymark for sponsoring the May Tech After Five. They would like to invite you to their Horizon’s conference on June. (RSVP)
