Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

We’re talking about FutureM week in Boston, and it was a huge success this year.  Pixability captured the energy of the packed events, the personalities, and lots of our taco people in this recap video.

If you missed the BzzAgent Tacopocalypse, see what it looked like here.

Were you there? What was your favorite part of FutureM this year?

What a Tacopocalypse Looks Like

Friday, September 16th, 2011

BzzAgent’s Tacopocalypse party for the MITX FutureM conference in Boston was this week. What’s a Tacopocalypse you ask? It’s packed room of Boston’s digital community in a cool bar with lots and lots of tacos, hot sauces and an out-of-this-world choco-taco bar.

As you can see, these tacos were great. Thanks to chef Brian Poe at the Rattlesnake Bar and Grill on Boylston St in Boston for the fantastic food and for being a great host.

Our hashtag #ilovetacos even trended on Twitter during the party. Here’s what a few of our guests had to say:

Is the Future of Marketing Soft or Crispy?

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

To find out, you need to witness the BzzAgent Tacopocalypse on Sept 14.

The Tacopocalpyse is just what it sounds like. It’s a massive taco-themed party with a dozen styles of tacos, a hot sauce bar, and taco desserts.

This is one of the great events BzzAgent is running at the FutureM conference this year. FutureM, the week-long interactive marketing event run by MITX here in Boston, will be back for another glorious run from Sept 12-16. FutureM brings the community together to contemplate and celebrate the future of marketing.

Last year’s week-long event drew about 3,000 people to over 50 events. Based on some of the bzz we’re hearing around town, this year might be even bigger.

BzzAgent is going to be all over this thing… especially on the evening of the 14th. Here’s what we got going on:

TACOPOCALYPSE!

Boston’s never seen a taco party quite like this. Chow down on a dozen different types of tacos, keep your cool at the hot sauce bar and indulge in the choco-taco dessert bar. Join other FutureM attendees for a night of food, music, games and a few other surprises.
