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!

Community Communications Event Monday, SMC Gathering Tuesday

Posted by Jason Falls

Just a note to let everyone know of an additional learning opportunity this week, in addition to reminding everyone of Tuesday’s April Gathering of the Social Media Club Louisville.

One of our charter members, Aaron Marshall of DBS, will be part of the panel at Community Communication’s, “Social Media, Social Networks and Social Change” luncheon Monday. The event is from noon until 2 p.m. at Webster University’s Adena Center (Zorn and River Road) and is detailed here.

And Tuesday night will be our regular monthly gathering (Have you remembered “Third Tuesday” yet?) featuring an expert panel on blogging. We’ll meet from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at Fox and Hound Grille and Pub next to Oxmoor Mall. If you haven’t RSVP’d, please do so via email at smclouisville — at — gmail.com or on the Facebook group. For more on the panel, check out our announcement post here.

How exciting is it that five months ago, people in Louisville weren’t talking about social media much, and now there areĀ  back-to-back days with learning opportunities? Can’t wait to see you Tuesday. Be sure to go out and support Aaron, plus see what the others have to say Monday if you can.
