On Friday, January 16, a group of wonderfully interesting and passionate social media folk gathered at Basis: New American Cuisine in Phoenix, AZ.
Ben Grossman (Chief Strategist at BiGMarK, Inc.) and Elizabeth Hannan (Website Marketing & Social Media Manager of Pragmatic Marketing) moderated a lively discussion with the 20+ attendees on a wide range of issues pursuant to the theme, Social Media in 2009 | Look Both Ways. Topics that were discussed included a review of Social Media in 2008 (mainstream acceptance, most effective use, the shifting communication model in journalism and life) and forecasts of what is to come in 2009 (viability of content aggregation, where influence resides, political implications).
Christi Woods, from sponsor Herman, Goldstein, and Forsyth P.C., gave a very compelling overview of how social media is a game changer for the legal profession: from evidentiary issues to professional networking.

We’d also like to thank Pete and Basis: New American Cuisine for being so accommodating and providing absolutely delicious food. The have a wonderful standard menu as well:
Basis specializes in innovative cuisine that remains approachable. An all day menu ensures the guest will find just what they are craving whether it is one of the fresh daily soups, a lobster burger, a prime rib stuffed poblano or southwest chicken cordon bleu. Sunday’s ala carte brunch menu features creme brule french toast, eggs benedict over green chile scones and cinnamon donut holes in addition to several other items. Basis also has over fifty wines by the glass, an extensive domestic and imported beer list and offers a coffee menu with french press options.
