We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended MashBash Tel Aviv this past Wednesday. Over 800 people celebrated Mashable’s first event outside of the United States—and we had a great time meeting you! We learned a lot about the amazing web and technology culture and are looking forward to sharing some of our insights and interviews in the upcoming Israel Media Tour series written by special guest writer Ayelet Noff of Blonde 2.0 and filmed by Flixwagon.
Check out Flickr for nearly 200 pictures from the event, in addition to all of the videos we shot live:
