As far as furthering the cause of social media in St. Louis, no group that I know of puts the money where their mouth is like the St. Louis chapter of the Social Media Club. And no single person, that I know embodies the spirit of social media more than my friend Todd Jordan.
So rather than me tell you about the June St. Louis Social Media Club event, I am reposting Todd’s blog entry about it. (Please visit Todd’s excellent blog, the Broad Brush, here. One could learn a lot from him.)
St. Louis Social Media Club June Event
Social Media is the buzzword that has defined the last couple of years in media and internet trends. The St. Louis area has a growing contingent of social media professionals and casual users, and the Social Media Club’s St. Louis chapter brings these hobbyists and professionals together to network, learn and chat about the technologies, practices and fun that is to be had in this virtual field.
Following on the heels of last month’s relaunch event, which gathered almost 150 Social Media types, the next Social Media Club of St. Louis’ Third Thursday Tangents Meetup is scheduled for 5:30pm June 18 at The Pepper Lounge in Downtown St. Louis. This month’s event will offer networking and socializing in one room and a panel discussion about Small Business and Social Media in the other. Come for the 1/2 price drink and appetizer specials – stay for the socializing or the panel; whatever is your pleasure.
