NextUp NYC Panel (not the Final Five)

Last night, the BFM marketing team (@alhankeser, @ishquez, @zacksinkler, and I) attended Mashable’s NextUp event. Here’s a great summary of the NextUp speakers.

Just in case you were there for the presentations and not the audience, here are some of the folks you could have met at Mashable’s NextUp NYC last night:

Lauren Litwinka: The charismatic online face of Hudson Horizons. Loves Bubble Tweet. Follow her: @beebow.

Lea Marino: Created Incognito’s social presence. Follow her: @LvM.

Jeff Stolarcyk: Jack of all (online) trades at Solid Cactus Web. Follow him: @TheOtherJeff.

The secretive founder of the street art and personal finance collective EnjoyBanking.com & you may have seen their street art all around Manhattan. Follow them: @enjoybanking.

The team at Zemoga (DJ Edgerton, their CEO, achieved the networker’s dream of meeting lots of people, and the networker’s nightmare of running out of business cards by the end of the night). Follow him: @wiltonbound.

Tyler Pennock of Ruder Finn, who knows more than anyone about introducing big brands to niche social media sites, and getting them to play nicely together. Follow him at @typennock.

Jamie Propp at Sanga A, who is cooking up ways to mix high fashion and new media.

Kiki Vassoler at Pitch Media, who is turning her considerable PR talents to the social media world. Check her LinkedIn.

Thomas Cohn, an attorney with Venable, who is helping clients navigate tricky FCC regulations applied to new contexts. Take a look at his LinkedIn.

Forrest Pan, a consultant with an interest in social media. His LinkedIn.

Alex Mann of AM Analytics who, having worked for the best investment bank, the newspaper of record, and two of his own ventures before finishing school, is now building a company that plans to revolutionize social media metrics. He’s on Twitter, too, as @alexjmann.

Megan Nesta with the IDT Group, who is looking into social media as a new way to market some high-end products that wouldn’t traditionally be sold that way. Find her on Twitter: @mjnesta.

Kennedy Moore of Ask a New Yorker, who is helping eight million people have a civil conversation & one of the most audacious business plans in history.

Alex Payne at MWW Group, who actually managed to listen to several of the presentations, and even took good notes. Follow him: @alexmpayne.

And many many more people whose business cards seem to have vanished. Drop us an email or leave a comment if we missed you.

Oh, right, and some blogger was there. MoneyMax? TopDollar? CashMore? I forget.
