TechFlash Bash Final Wrap-up: Video and Top 10 Trivia Teams
Here's a great video, shot and produced by Tim Reha, with highlights from Wednesday night's TechFlash Holiday Party & Birthday Bash. It was great to have so many of you join us, and we loved hanging out at the venue, the Spitfire Grill in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood.
Congrats again to the Cheezburger Network for edging out Findwell to take the top prize in our trivia contest. We ended up with 15 teams answering questions in the contest, which turned out to be even more challenging than we had expected.
In case you were wondering how the rest of the field turned out, we went back over the scores this morning and compiled this ranking of the top 10 teams. In cases of ties (and there were a few) we used our tiebreaking question -- about the number of shakes recorded on Urbanspoon's iPhone app -- to determine which team came out on top.
1) Cheezburger Network
2) Findwell
3) Spring Creek Group
4) Silicon Valley Bank
5) Seattle 2.0
6) Blue Box Group #2
7) Hill & Knowlton
8) Edelman
9) The Bulldogs
10) The Milburns
Thanks again to our event sponsors: Reaxion, BDO, Denali Advanced Integration and the Master of Business Administration program at The University of Washington, Bothell.
We're already deep into planning our events for the next year, and we've got some fun and interesting stuff in the works. Suggestions and feedback welcome at techflashtips@bizjournals.com.
