Social Media Camp: 7 City Summer Tour

June 30, 2008 by Kristie Wells 

Our friends over at Yoono have announced Social Media Camp, a one day unconference held in seven (7) cities across the U.S. focused on bringing some of the brightest minds in Social Media together with people interested in learning more about the power of Community Based Marketing. Top local names in Blogging, Podcasting, Live Streaming, and New Media will be on hand to lead sessions – a la BarCamp Style – to share what they know with the world.

There will be at least 2 tracks at each event – a beginner track (think Blogging 101), and an advanced track (think What is Social Capital – and Why Should I Care?).

They are brainstorming topics for the event now – so if you have something you’d like to talk about (beginner or advanced) – or if there is something you’d like someone to cover – add it to the Wiki in the city/cities of your choice.

Who’s Invited: Everyone interested in Social Media. If you’re a Blogger, Podcaster,
Community Manager, Online Marketer, Web Designer, Technologist, Facebooker, or Social Media Junkie then this event is for you. If you’re in Marketing, PR, Advertising, Communications, or Education – or if you work with a Non-Profit – then this event is for you too!

Cost: FREE

Social Media Camp is coming to the following cities:

The Social Media Camp dates and cities were picked to coincide with Mashable’s Summer Tour, so make plans to join your peers in the day for some good Social Media loving, then carry on into the night at the Mashable party. Both events require registration, and information can be found on the respective websites/wikis.

Social Media Club is proud to be a Media Sponsor of this event, and we hope to see you at one (or more) of the gatherings.

    The Austin event is scheduled for July 30 here, but when I click through, it says July 12. Is the date firm yet?

    If it coincides with Mashable’s event, then that is the 30th.

    Thanks!

    @Howard: I will have Erica O’Grady get in touch with you regarding the venue. She is handling logistics.

    @Ranee: They are trying to keep these close to where the Mashable parties are being held, so will do our best to make it convenient for everyone.

    @Sheila: Austin is July 30th. They are working feverishly to update all the wiki pages. I jumped the gun on posting the announcements as the Seattle event was getting close. All the dates mentioned above are correct.

    So venue for Boston. Do you need a camp site? Could look into EMC campus but it is in the wilds of Hopkinton. How can I help?

    Trying to sign up for L.A. No sign up link available. Is it because there’s not venue set? Hope it pans out. Looking forward to attending.

    A local in Austin here. Between the Upcoming page http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/859714/ and the BarCamp wiki http://barcamp.pbwiki.com/SocialMediaCampAustin fewer than 20 people have signed up for Social Media Camp Austin as of this writing. The topic is great and I’m looking forward to it regardless, but I’d like to know that the event will have critical mass before I try to recruit colleagues from work — it would be a shame if their first exposure to the unconference concept was anticlimactic.

    So, are there any other signs you can point me at to indicate that the Austin event is building momentum? Thanks!

    Would we be wrong to setup a SocialMediaCampRDU ? https://barcamp.pbwiki.com/SocialMediaCampRDU in NC? Looking at August 8th in Raleigh or Durham NC. We can get local sponsors too.

    Your thoughts?

    Thanks
