ISES members from throughout the world gathered in San Francisco yesterday to get smarter about business, social networking and other vital topics for special event professionals on Day 2 of Eventworld 2009.

Sessions on social networking--including Facebook and Twitter—drew standing-room-only crowds.

The Happy Hour session with Dallas-based celebrity planner Steve Kemble covered serious topics, including staying afloat during the recession, along with cheeky entertainment, including a "Barack" impersonator and drag queen DJ Lady Bunny.

The SEARCH fundraiser ended the evening.

Eventworld continues today.
