Fitbit Captivate Summit 2016: Day 2 - Fort Mason Center San Francisco

I was in San Francisco to provide music throughout the 2016 Fitbit Captivate Summit, that took place at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. Read about day one in an earlier blog post.

Day two consisted of more music sets during the day but also mixed in with providing live DJ services during two different workouts. In the morning, I was back on stage with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. I DJ’d a workout he led during the Fitbit Alta product launch in New York City earlier this year.

Closing out the day was another high intensity work out that was attended by a handful of the conference goers. Heather McKenzie, a San Francisco based trainer, led that workout.

Fitbit Employee Workout With Haley Pasternak - Asilomar Conference Center

Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak leads a Fitbit employee workout.

Fitbit held it’s annual Sales and Marketing Summit at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove California. The employee event was the opportunity for the sales and marketing staff to learn about the few Fitbit products and accessories releasing later this year.

I had a couple of responsibilities during the conference. One of them was to play music in the main meeting hall while attendees entered and exited the room. Also to play music and keep the vibe going at different times during the presentations.

I was also brought in to partner up with Harley Pasternak again as he led a workout at the end of the second day of the event. The workout was for the employees, who were outfitted with new, not yet released Fitbit devices. This allowed them to get hands on use of the fitness wearables.

Harley is a lot of fun to work with, as it was the second time around I was able to work with him. The first being in New York City for the launch of Fitbit Alta.

Brett and Ben’s Dance Party - Carnitas Snack Shack Wedding

View fullsize

Whoops forgot to smile. Ben and Brett are the coolest. Our shoes are even cooler. 

This was a wedding celebration I was looking forward to for several months. I would say it had to do with the location, the popular San Diego eatery, Carnitas Snack Shack, but it really was the couple ... Ben and Brett.

I met Brett in early 2015 when I DJ'd the Lululemon La Jolla store she managed. That moment led to more gigs for Lululemon all over San Diego, then Vancouver and Palm Desert when she opened the Lulu outlet store in Cabazon. So DJing just for her, her new hubs, family and friends was a great alternative to all those other events.

Brett and Ben's celebration on May 27, 2016 was truly "local San Diego." From the venue (the aforementioned Carnitas Snack Shack), local beers and even delicious sugary sweet Craft Donuts.

I adore this couple. Brett has been an amazing supporter of my "second career" and this party was the best!
