400+ Mashable fans partied and networked at the second MashMeetLA.

Three things helped us pack the house with great people:

1. Mashable.com has a huge readership - Every time Mashable ran a blog post about the event, another wave of RSVP's came to Mixergy. That's why I love putting events together with big, well-loved brands.

2. We partnered with the CommunityNext conference - It's hard to put together a successful LA party on a Saturday night because there are too many competing events here. Instead of battling for attention, I asked CommunityNext to let us be their after-party. We helped them sell tickets and they helped us grow our guest list.

3. We built on past events - When a guest RSVP's to an event on Mixergy, we make it easy for them to request the host's future invitations. That allows hosts to make each event bigger than the last.

Update: TechZulu has video and Mashable does too.
