“We were eager to present something new and different for this year’s party schedule, and we had the perfect partner in eMerchantPay to do just that,” said Cybernet Expo Director of Operations Jay “LAJ” Kopita. “This party is going to be pretty sweet, no doubt about it. It’s a chance to meet new people in a fun environment, and to have a little Vegas-style playtime without the actual expense of Vegas.

“There will be prizes handed out throughout the night, and we’re encouraging all attendees to dress to impress,” he added.

An eMerchantPay spokeswoman said Cybernet’s venue, San Francisco’s Golden Gateway Hotel, seemed like the perfect environment for retro entertainment. Located in the lower Nob Hill neighborhood, the trade show’s headquarters hotel offers stunning views of some of San Francisco’s most historic attractions.

“Over the last few years we have enjoyed a great relationship with the guys at Cybernet Expo, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to show attendees and fellow sponsors a good time on opening night,” eMerchantPay Marketing Manager Lili Metodieva said. “We were very pleased with the Cybernet Expo show in 2009, and we consider this show an excellent opportunity to showcase eMerchantPay to new and old clients alike.”

The party will take place in the Golden Gateway Hotel’s Redwood Room. In addition to free games and drinks, entertainment and great prizes, the Roaring ’20s Casino Night also will feature music and decorations from America’s colorful Prohibition era.
