Seattle Social Media December 11, 2008

Join me for an early evening of conversation as we discuss the launch of the new Social Media group, connecting minds looking to share information and help build each others understanding.

All attendees will be invited to fully partake on this new group and will benefit from free promotion as a participating member, in addition to reviewing tips and secrets presented by Barry Hurd regarding how to use social media for business.

We will be having the first event informally at 3rd place books in Lake Forest Park. The area has several coffee and food options surrounding the main commons area. Those of you who are interested in learning more about social media can contact me, everyone is welcome to reach out and connect.

The entire four hour session (you don't have to attend the whole thing!) is open to anyone interested in social media / new media. A great opportunity to network with like-minded professionals, discuss education with talented speakers, plan upcoming evening seminars, casual workshops, continuing education, pub nights, and the ability to communicate with people who want to help each other.

The groups main focus will be to coordinate and promote events that assemble professionals dealing with the evolution of communication- from information privacy concerns, search engine optimization, online branding, professional reputation, to the business side of the industry dealing with sales, marketing, and business development.

We will also be dealing with "bigger picture" issues about rights & wrongs, the ethics behind who, what, when, where, why, and how to best help other members utilize new media.

This is a casual first meeting, where I guarantee that you'll find some useful information about using social media. In follow-up meetings I will be coordinating expert speakers on niche topics within social media (podcasting, blogging, public relations, Twittering, SEO, etc) for everyone to have conversations with
