Social Media Club Gold Coast Meetup

May 25, 2009; 09:39 AM

05.25.2009 – Social Media Club Gold Coast is having a drinks and chat meetup on Wednesday, 27th May, from 6 to 8 pm. All welcome.

This is an opportunity for social media specialists to hang out with others in the field. It's also intended very much as an opportunity for others who are interested in social media and how that could be helpful for them - in whatever field, business, community organisations, government, you name it - to spend some friendly time with people who have the social media story at their fingertips and are only too happy to share what they know.

There will be geeks - but it is not a gathering of geeks so much as an open house that we all pay for. Yes, until we can score a sponsor or three, we all have to pay for our own drinks.

Some of the people who will be there: Associate Professor of Computer Science (Bond) Michael Rees, Chapter Convenor and the other members of the coordinating committee, Glenn Goodman, Peta Hopkins and Des Walsh.

Michael Rees said: "The event for May is presentation-free. We thought it would be a good idea to just have a get-together for some further social networking. It could also be a good chance to chat informally about the schedule of events for the group for the rest of '09."

Social Media Club Gold Coast is part of an international network which brings together journalists, publishers, communications professionals, artists, amateur media creators, citizen journalists, teachers, students, tool makers, and other interested collaborators. Essentially the people who create and consume media who have an interest in seeing the ‘media industry’ evolve for everyone’s benefit.
