PLEASE READ: Details for San Francisco January 16th meeting

We are very excited for our Social Media Club Round Table in San Francisco - which became so popular, we not only had to close registrations, but we have had to change the format for the event to accommodate the group - we also need your help in finding a sponsor to cover the costs, so read more below.

As a result of your enthusiasm, we have been inspired to launch a new series of events we will be hosting regularly around the world called the Social Media Café.

http://www.socialmediacafe.com/ will be launching soon

Additionally, we are very pleased to announce that we have the support of Thomas Hurley, a master at facilitating The World Café format, which we have used successfully in the past. If you are not familiar with The World Café format, it is in essence a series of small group conversations you will have with other participants focused on key questions of interest to the group. This is a great way to tap into the collective intelligence of the room, by enabling the insights and experiences to bubble up from the small groups to be shared with the larger group.

You can find out more about The World Café @ http://www.theworldcafe.org/

VERY VERY IMPORTANT

• I had originally intended to purchase beverages and snacks myself for this event, but with the event size being what it is, could really use a sponsor/patron. Since it is last minute, we just want to cover costs. If anyone is interested, please contact me at 408.834.0884 or leave a comment in this post.
• If you can not make it to the event, please let us know so we can open up your spot to someone else. There are over 160 people attending/watching on Upcoming!
• If you know of someone else who wants to come, please have them contact us to be put on the waiting list.
• We would very much like to start this conversation before we get together and keep it going afterwards. To that end, if you have something that has been keeping you up at night you want to talk about regarding what you hope to see happen with Social Media in 2007, or what you want to prevent from happening, write it up and tag it with ‘SMCafe1′. We are also very interested in talking with you about what you want to see from us, as a community of Social Media Practitioners, so any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

There is a lot more to talk about, but we can save that for next week. In the meantime, have a great weekend! We are looking forward to seeing you on TUE night.
