The Pepcom Digital Experience is a fun and unique media event that coincides with the start of CES, although it’s not affiliated with CES. It’s a great opportunity to meet with lots of fellow colleagues in the span of just a few hours in a setting that is much smaller and more intimate than the massive convention center.

This year, the event will be held on Sunday, January 6th at the Caesar’s Palace Augustus Ballroom from 7 to 10 PM. It’s an invite-only event, so make sure to RSVP asap.

The best part, of course, is the food and MOSTLY the alcohol. The best glass of white wine I ever had in my life was at a Pepcom event in New York. But let’s not even get started on how sad THAT is.

Last year in Vegas they had a mashed potato bar, which apparently was a very chic thing to have at the time. Mashed potatoes served in martini glasses with all sorts of toppings. I had been at a New Year’s Eve wedding at an art gallery in Boulder a week before and THEY had a mashed potato bar at the reception, so it was clearly THE thing of early 2007.

Have you ever attended a Pepcom event? Will you come back again in hopes of getting another shot at the mashed potato bar .. hehe?
