Oh, hi.

It was this same day in 2006 when Tech Cocktail hosted its very first mixer in Lincoln Park, Chicago. More than 200 local tech enthusiasts packed STATE to do what they love most: drink cocktails and talk tech. Over the last six years, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting hundreds of events in more than 30 cities across the country (and Canada & Spain!). Although the accents, scenery, and weather may change, one aspect remains the same – the spirited technophile.

The only fitting way to celebrate Tech Cocktail’s 6th birthday is to showcase the most essential mixer ingredient – YOU. Below is a collection of Tech Cocktail’s 132 favorite event photos from more than 13 cities over the last 6 years.

Also, we invite you to test your hand in a game of “Tech Celebrity Bingo.” See if you can spot the following tech celebs in the photos below:

Micah Baldwin, Alex Bard, Leslie Bradshaw, Ben Brightwell, Chris Brogan, Steve Case, CC Chapman, David Cohen, Peter Corbett, Dick Costolo, Brian DeWitt, Mike Evans, Tim Ferriss, Laura Fitton, Matt Galligan, Steve Garfield, Ryan Graves, Troy Henikoff, Travis Kalanick, Eric Lunt, Mike Macadaan, Matt Maloney, Ben Metcalfe, Nick O’Neill, Ben Parr, Christopher Penn, Hooman Radfar, Harper Reed, Gabe Rivera, Jesse Thomas, Mike Trotzke, Gary Vaynerchuk, Todd Vernon, Andrew Warner, Brian Williams, Casey Winters.

We’ve always said “social media is a cocktail party”, but @TechCocktail is a cocktail party about social media. Happy 6th Birthday!
