Image via WikipediaThe May gathering of the Social Media Club Louisville will take place on Tuesday, May 20, from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at ArtSpace on the second floor at 323 West Broadway, between the Brown Hotel and Brown Theatre. The format will be a round table/group discussion about issues in social media, feedback and dialog about SMC Louisville to date and ongoing and any other relevant topics YOU bring to the table.
The format was inspired by a Social Media Breakfast Shawn Morton and I attended earlier this month in Cincinnati. With no constraints on the topic and just some general steering from Albert Maruggi, the group talked at length about several different topics and on several different levels. It was good discussion for those just starting in social media understanding and those who have been doing it a while. And don’t worry, we’ll not spend the whole time in formal discussion. There will be plenty of time for informal networking and socializing.
We are now tentatively planning on providing food and drinks at this particular event, as opposed to what was in the group email. We’ll update the blog and send another note out once we have that solidified. Until then, plan on coming fed or perhaps joining a few of us for dining afterwards somewhere nearby. The original plan was a matter of budget, not facility. You’re more than welcome to bring refreshments to the meeting.
We would like to thank the Fund for the Arts for use of ArtSpace. They have generously provided the meeting space for us. I’d anticipate a few folks from the Fund will attend, so be sure to not only thank them, but help them learn what we’re doing. Social media can be a powerful mechanism for connecting them to new audiences, young and old. And a special thanks to Heather O’Mara from Kentucky Opera for facilitating the arrangements with the Fund. She came to her first SMC Louisville event last month and immediately jumped in to help. Thanks, Heather!

Thanks for coming up to Cincinnati. That is a strong group. And when you throw in Louisville, I’d call it a hot bed of social media/PR. Now if there are people who don’t know the Jim Beam/twitter story, just ask Jason to tell it. He’s probably gonna kick me for mentioning it cause I am sure he’s told it a lot, but it’s a classic situation where an unfamiliar and seemingly ridiculous technology to some, Twitter, had a wonderful application.
Have a great meeting, just about the same time of your meeting, I’m moderating a panel on social media in healthcare in St. Paul, MN
All the best Jason, is the sleeping at night getting any better?
I wish I was going to be able to make this meeting. I only just learned of SMC Louisville when I registered for Podcamp Ohio. Unfortunately, Tuesday nights are reserved for storytime with my oldest son. Are the meetings always on Tuesday?
Hi Greg,
Yes, our meetings are always on the third Tuesday of each month. Perhaps you’ll be able to reschedule story time one month and join us.
