Never heard of a Social Media Breakfast? That’s okay, you probably will soon – they’re on their way to a town near you. (Here’s the list of where they are already, and how you can bring one to your town.)
Here’s the deal, taken straight from their website:
The Social Media Breakfast was founded by Bryan Person in August 2007 as an event where social media experts and newbies alike come together to eat, meet, share, and learn. Marketers, PR pros, entrepreneurs, bloggers, podcasters, new-media fanatics, and online social networkers are all welcome to attend.
The breakfast series began in Boston and has now spread to more than a dozen cities throughout the United States and around the world.
Pretty cool, eh? Well, I’m going to the New Hampshire chapter’s next one this Friday, and considering my recent “Got an emergency? Tweet about it!” post, I think I’m gonna have a good time there. Here are the details, along with a link for our New Hampshire peeps to sign up for the event.
Theme for the second Social Media Breakfast: Government 2.0 (how utilities, organizations for the environment, and more work with and from municipalities and other entities using social media to achieve goals)
The second Social Media Breakfast NH (hashtag #smbnh) will be all about topics related to Government 2.0. In this struggling economy and shifting paradigm we need to be working together to be more successful and better weather the storm. We should be pulling in all aspects of technology, new media, old media and social media to succeed. This meeting will help us lay the foundation for a richer, better education, tech and new media community in NH.
In addition to myself, who will be your host and MC for the morning, you will have three speakers giving three brief presentations on topics relating to the theme for the morning.
‘Electric Tweets’ – Why @psnh followers increased 1,700% in one week Public Service of New Hampshire’s Martin Murray will discuss the electric utility’s use of Twitter and other social media.
Boston Police Department is sending John Daley to discuss their web outreach efforts via Twitter and other media.
Now or Never Media’s Bill Curuway and his partners in clean air initiatives will discuss how they use social media to get the word out and reach out to municipalities for change.
Let’s make the new SMBNH crackle with energy and success! See you there!
