May Gathering Focuses On The Conversation

Posted by Jason Falls on May-8-2008

The Brown Hotel (built 1923)Image via WikipediaThe May gathering of the Social Media Club Louisville will take place on Tuesday, May 20, from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at ArtSpace on the second floor at 323 West Broadway, between the Brown Hotel and Brown Theatre. The format will be a round table/group discussion about issues in social media, feedback and dialog about SMC Louisville to date and ongoing and any other relevant topics YOU bring to the table.

The format was inspired by a Social Media Breakfast Shawn Morton and I attended earlier this month in Cincinnati. With no constraints on the topic and just some general steering from Albert Maruggi, the group talked at length about several different topics and on several different levels. It was good discussion for those just starting in social media understanding and those who have been doing it a while. And don’t worry, we’ll not spend the whole time in formal discussion. There will be plenty of time for informal networking and socializing.

ArtSpaceWe are now tentatively planning on providing food and drinks at this particular event, as opposed to what was in the group email. We’ll update the blog and send another note out once we have that solidified. Until then, plan on coming fed or perhaps joining a few of us for dining afterwards somewhere nearby. The original plan was a matter of budget, not facility. You’re more than welcome to bring refreshments to the meeting.

We would like to thank the Fund for the Arts for use of ArtSpace. They have generously provided the meeting space for us. I’d anticipate a few folks from the Fund will attend, so be sure to not only thank them, but help them learn what we’re doing. Social media can be a powerful mechanism for connecting them to new audiences, young and old. And a special thanks to Heather O’Mara from Kentucky Opera for facilitating the arrangements with the Fund. She came to her first SMC Louisville event last month and immediately jumped in to help. Thanks, Heather!

Let’s Get More Social, Less Media, For Now

Posted by Jason Falls

Let’s Get SocialSince our adventure into social media began with our inaugural gathering in January, I’ve continually solicited feedback both generally at meetings and via club communications and individually with folks involved that I know and trust. The one thing that continues to come up is that not enough people feel like they know everyone. So instead of programming something for March, let’s just get to know each other.The March gathering of the Social Media Club Louisville will be an evening of networking, informal content producing (I’ll interview people for our blog, my blog or even your blog if you like!), game playing and general get-to-know-you goodness. Our friends at CNET have graciously extended their gathering space as a venue, which includes Wii, X-Box and PlayStation3 set ups for the gamers in the club. We’ll have some informal dinner and snack options (suggestions are welcome) as well.

Hopefully, the fun and frolic will better enable us to connect to one another. We’ll concentrate on continued learning in April and may even use March to gather suggestions from everyone on what we want to explore next.

WHO:  Champions of social media and those wishing to learn

WHAT:  March Gathering of the Social Media Club Louisville

WHEN:  Tuesday, March 18 (Third Tuesdays, remember?) from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m.

WHERE:   CNET,  1630 Lyndon Farm Court, Louisville, Ky. (Off LaGrange Road between Whipps Mill and Hurstbourne Parkway) (Google Map It)

WHY:   To network, mingle and have fun

  1. Michelle Said,

    OK my earlier comment must have been eaten. If anyone is interested in carpooling to the next meeting let me know. It’s a schlep out to CNET for those of us in the Highlands, etc so there’s no need for all of us to drive separately.

  2. Roger Bauer Said,

    That was a good time tonight! Special thanks to whomever brought the beer and provided the elaborate food spread–we owe you one. :)

    Looking forward to the next meeting.
