In 2009, former Fort Wayne native, Amy Stark put together the Indiana Social Media Smackdown.
It basically was a popularity contest and included a chance to get nominated and voted on.
Amy lives in Indianapolis and was very happy that a couple of us from Fort Wayne came to Indy for the lunch and festivities considering it was held the week between Christmas and New Year.
Fast forward to 2011 and we have numerous Social Media events going on in Fort Wayne.
There are seminars, breakfasts, lunches, tweet-ups and all kinds of Face-to-Face activities where you can meet, greet, explore, learn and even be a resource.
There's a couple coming up this month that I want to bring to your attention.
Steps to Fitting Social Media Into the Marketing Mix is the subject of a Luncheon to benefit Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana, July 12th, $10 includes food. My friend and co-worker Kevin Mullett is the presenter this time but you need to get your tickets online before they are sold out. Click here.
Two days later, July 14th Tweet Up FOR Champions AT Champions. This event is free after work and right before the baseball game which I am also going to. Click here.
And mark your calendar for the last Tuesday of EVERY Month for the Fort Wayne Social Media Breakfast. It is coming up July 26th from 7:30am until 9am at the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center. Still free and details will be available on Eventbrite about a week before. Last month we had over 60 attend and learn about blogging.
