Boston’s inaugural Social Media Club meeting scheduled for Nov. 2, 6pm
October 19th, 2006 by Todd Van Hoosear
Can social media tools change the way marketers, consumers, organizations and journalists interact? What practices can individuals, institutions and corporations put in place now to better communicate ideas, benefits, opinions and needs?
Please join your Boston-based peers from PR agencies, marketing groups, academia, mainstream journalists and bloggers/podcasters in this new effort to further the science and art of social media:
In an interactive forum, founder Chris Heuer will discuss “The Rise of Social Media” and give an overview of the latest in tools, technologies and success stories. Chris will share accomplishments from other chapters and suggest possible next steps. With guidance from Chris, our new group will set goals and start sharing opinions on the role of social media in the present and future of PR, marketing and journalism. This gathering is held in conjunction with the Society for New Communications Research‘s Inaugural Research Symposium and Awards Celebration at The Colonnade Hotel. We look forward to seeing you on November 2! Food and drink will be provided!
What: Inaugural meeting of the Social Media Club’s Boston Chapter
Where: Colonnade Hotel Boston (Boston Ballroom)
When: November 2, 2006 6:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Who: Anybody interested in social media and the intersection of journalism, activism, marketing and technology should attend!
Updates:
1. As I mentioned in my reminder, don’t forget to ask me for the promo code to get discounted admission to the SNCR events being help in conjunction with this meeting.
2. I’m happy to report that we’ll have several attendees who’ve agreed to share their thoughts, beyond Chris Heuer (and we hope to get more: I’ll post an interactive agenda next week), including (I hope):
- Jen McClure of the SNCR, who will give us a run-down on the SNCR events, and share their future plans
- PodCamp Co-Founder Chris Brogan, who will talk about content networks and citizen-embedded journalism
- ProxPro Founder Julian Bourne, who will share his insights into social media and his plans for mobile-enabled social networking
- Podcast.com’s Duncan Perry, who will share their thoughts on the future of podcasting
Hope to see you at both these great events!
