Social Media Club - Boston
September 30, 2006 by Kristie Wells
Chris and I are headed to Boston and wanted to put a couple of events on your calendar:
First stop - support our friends over at SNCR as they hold their Inaugural Research Symposium and Awards Celebration. There are a few seats left for this event and I am told if you register online at http://tinyurl.com/hqmom and use the promo code ‘NCR20′, you will save almost 20%!
Then we will join our buddies at Topaz Partners who have offered to co-host the first ‘official’ meeting of Social Media Club Boston on Thursday, November 2nd from 6pm to 8:30pm. We are currently looking for a venue* in downtown Boston (Topaz is located in Woburn), so just put the date on your calendar for now and we will get an update to you shortly.
*If you have venue suggestion for the SMC event, please email kristie [at] brainjams [dot] org. We are trying to keep it in downtown Boston near a public transportation stop to make them easy to get to.
Also, we do ask if you plan on attending the SMC event to please pre-register online at: Social Media Club Boston
Your link didn’t work for me to the mollyguard site (now eventbrite). It said I couldn’t edit your event. : (
I’m coming, alright?
I had the same problem as Mr. Brogan, the usability on Mollyguard is a problem - I couldn’t find a way to register without setting up an event. I’m in if you can get me the secret decoder ring…
Ok, I fixed the link. Sorry fellas. They changed their name after I set this up, which changed all the event links. DOH. Ok, register away.
With many thanks to Jen McClure @ SNCR, I think we have a venue for the Boston meeting–it will be in the Colonnade, in one of the SNCR rooms (still TBD).
We are definitely on for November 2nd. I’m pushing for 6:30pm instead of 6, just to give folks (like me) time to get there.
We’re looking at setting up a website for the Boston chapter, but in the meantime, visit here for any event updates: http://topazpartners.blogspot.com/2006/10/bostons-inaugural-social-media-club.html
Aw heck, 6pm works too. I’ll change it.
I think the date stamp is wrong on the comment posts…
If we need to formally kick off at 630pm, we can do that too - people can start to arrive at 6pm and we can have some informal conversations to kick it off. Perhaps if enough people are there, we can start a mini-BrainJam and do a round of 6 Five Minute Meetings to get to know each other…. We’re pretty flexible. The real point here is to get to know each other and share some good insights through great conversations. The rest works itself out.
