New Social Media Club chapters: Seattle and Vancouver
October 24, 2006 by Kristie Wells
Hello Northwest!
Chris Heuer, co-founder of Social Media Club, will be in Seattle on December 6th and Vancouver on December 7th to officially launch the local chapters in each city. If you are in the area and interested in social media and the intersection of journalism, activism, marketing and technology - we encourage you to join us and meet your peers to share best practices, while working towards the establishment of ethics and standards and promoting media literacy.
We will discuss “The Rise of Social Media” and review the latest in tools, technologies and success stories. Chris will share accomplishments from other chapters and suggest possible next steps. The goal of Social Media Club is for each chapter to set goals, meet regularly and share opinions on the role of social media in the present and future of PR, marketing and journalism.

Hey - any plans for a social media club in Toronto?
Hi Maggie,
We are planning to launch Toronto SMC soon. Would you be able to help us with that? Securing a venue is the most critical piece…the rest falls into place from there.
Send me an email to kristiewells [at] gmail [dot] com and we can discuss further.
Cheers.
