As we get into summer a few of the Social Media Club local groups will be taking some time off as people travel and regroup with some more formalized structures. So pay close attention to the Social Media Club Events page and sign up for your local mailing lists to keep in touch. Of course, the current site should be going away before the end of summer, to be replaced with our new community site - stay tuned for more updates on this and ways you can contribute once we get the site to alpha test stage in the coming weeks. Yes it is a bit behind schedule in light of the recent changes here, but it is still on track to get done.
So on to the events.

Tomorrow, June 14, I will be in Los Angeles for the post Digital Hollywood discussion on The Future of Media, hosted by FAST Search at the Mondrian Hotel from 3-530 with drinks afterwards. If you can’t get to the Mondrian in West Hollywood for the start of the event, do come later in the afternoon for the great discussion with our really smart panelists, or even join us at 530 for drinks. The FAST folks are doing some really great things, and I am personally fortunate to have the opportunity to work with them on a great project such as this. If you plan on coming at all though, please do at least register so we can plan appropriately…

Next week here in San Francisco is SuperNova 2007, and because we have become great friends with many of the very insightful organizers, we are very glad to offer Social Media Club members a special discount of $300 off the registration price. The event is being held at Wharton West from June 20-22.

“Supernova 2007 is the place to challenge your insights and predictions for the connected future. Join top technology and business influencers, leading investors, visionary entrepreneurs, and provocative thinkers debating the major emerging trends in computing, communications, and media.”

Use the discount code GEN3 to receive $300 off your registration which includes the Wharton West Challenge Day, or use code GEN2 for $300 off the 2 day conference pass. I will be leading a session on The Economics of Free at the unconference prior to the event on Tuesday June 19, and will hopefully find some time to be around during the conference, learning from and connecting with, some of the brightest people in the business world of technology.

I am trying to work on a wrap up post about the great Social Media Workshop we had on Monday down in Palo Alto still - will hopefully get this completed tomorrow before the Future of Media panel…
