Great Time Had By All: NECA 2012 Las Vegas Opening Reception

It’s a Sunset Beach Party, Las Vegas!

Convention go-ers gathered Saturday night for the NECA 2012 Convention & Trade Show’s opening reception at the Mandalay Beach, a world-famous playground with a wave pool, lazy river, three swimming pools, and 2,700 tons of real sand… right in the middle of Las Vegas.

Check out candid shots from the ultra lounges, or watch as Marilyn and Elvis wow attendees by the cabanas.

Socializing at NECA 2012 Las Vegas

No, we don’t mean all the great networking opportunities and gala events at the convention and trade show. NECA uses several online social media tools to share information with our members and friends in the industry during NECA 2012 Las Vegas. Here’s how you can join the conversation!

Social Media Walls
We’ll have continually updated displays on our on-site social media posts at two Social Media Wall displays on the NECA Show floor, strategically positioned for maximum visibility. Make sure your Facebook, blog posts, Tweets and Flickr posts appear on the Social Media walls by correctly tagging them.

NECA CONVENTION BLOG: Guest Posts and Comments Welcome!
The first source for both preliminary and on-site news for NECA 2010 Boston is blog.necaconvention.org. We live-blog the general sessions, technical workshops, the Show floor, special events, and any schedule changes. RSS makes it easy to get instant updates from the site on your reader or smart phone. All blog entries are cross-posted to NECA Convention’s Facebook and Twitter pages, too. Blog posts include photos and tags so you can easily find what you’re looking for.

Got an idea for a post or want to post a comment on a post that’s already up? We love to hear your thoughts. Just go to blog.necaconvention.org!
