Photos: LinkedIn celebrates 2009

Saturday night, December 12th, LinkedIn celebrated 2009 in style at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. As our CEO, Jeff Weiner, said at the party, our families make it possible for us to do the work that we do on a daily basis by supporting us at home. This night gave us an opportunity to say thank you for our families' support, enjoy the company of our co-workers and celebrate 2009 together.

The historic architecture of the Ferry Building was converted the into a hip winter wonderland with white, blue, silver and ice.  Guests enjoyed a lounge ambiance throughout the party with white leather seating, mirrored tables and modern décor.  As attendees entered the party, they were greeted with a blue carpet exclusive entrance and professional photographs. See more pictures here.

The party included two distinct areas to celebrate with a large party space in the main foyer complete with a DJ and dancing, professional lighting, photo booths, a bar complete with a branded ice sculpture and candy displays for keeping the sweet tooth satisfied.  Additionally, a lounge was created with an acoustic trio, ice lighting, lounge furniture and topped off with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Bay Bridge.

The party was the perfect way to end an exciting year. Thank you to our partners, Paula LeDuc Fine Catering, Sugar Shack, MPortraits Photography, Red Cheese, Entire Productions, DJ Imani, J. Russo and Clear Memories for helping make the night a huge success.  Thanks to Florina Xhabija, LaRae Hakes (both of whom are standing with me in above picture), Jan Choi and Veronica Vallez - the LinkedIn party planning team - for all their help in making this happen.

Bring on 2010!
