Startup Weekend Set For Nov. 21-23 In Lexington

Posted by Jason Falls on Nov-11-2008

Lexington, KentuckyImage via WikipediaWhile in Lexington, Ky., recently to present to the Lexington Ad Club, Nick Huhn and I met Brian Raney of ApaxSoftware who is actively involved in something very interesting and exciting called Startup Weekend. It is a national event that brings together the smartest and most creative people in multiple industries (web design, engineering, software, marketing, medicine, art, etc.) to share ideas and launch companies in the course of 54 hours.  By Sunday evening each of the self-selected groups will present their alpha version company to the rest of the attendees which will include local political leaders, multi-million dollar company founders and more.

The event minimizes formal structure to allow for maximum creativity, conversation, and productivity.  It will be coming to Lexington for the first time November 21-23, and will be held at Whitehall Classroom Building on UK’s campus.  The cost is $40 for the weekend and includes food and a T-shirt.

You can sign up here.

Join SMC Louisville For Summer Networking

Posted by Jason Falls

The Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau displays many of the common pronunciations of the city's name on its logo.Image via WikipediaThe June gathering of the Social Media Club Louisville will take place from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at the Fox & Hound Pub & Grille at 302 Bullitt Lane (behind Kohl’s next to Oxmoor Mall) (Google Map It!). This month’s event will be strictly for networking, informal meet and greet, discussion and conversation. Food and drink will be on your own. Please RSVP by sending us an email at smclouisville -at- gmail.com to ensure we have an accurate head count.

Also, after last month’s edict from the group that SMC Louisville should be more proactive in educating those not familiar with social media and furthering the education of those of us already involved, the steering committee has been hard at work formulating plans for outreach. If you are a member of another professional organization in town and would like to arrange for members of the social media club to get involved or present to your group, please let us know. We’ll reach out to several on our own, but the more contacts we have, the more far-reaching our efforts will be.

Keep an eye on the blog for news of an upcoming Social Media Breakfast series geared toward the novice social media users as well.

See you on the 17th!
