Birmingham Social Media Cafe

The next Birmingham Social Media cafe meet-up will be:

At the Coffee Lounge from 10am on Friday 30 October 2009.

Turn up, grab a coffee and make your way downstairs to meet, chat and generally hob-nob with an array of interesting people who use (or are looking to use) social media in their working lives.

This month our quarterly supporters, Rhubarb Radio, will be providing the coffees.

There’s no need for invites, tickets are any of that business, but it’d be great if you could announce that you’re coming, either:

• On Facebook; or
• On Upcoming.

If you’d like to receive reminders of these meet-ups by email then you can sign up to the mailing list in the sidebar on the right-hand side of this website.

I couldn’t make it along to the meet-up on Friday but I hear that it went well and the coffee money was spent in record time. Thanks to everyone who went along and to our sponsors, Birmingham City University, for their support.

Jon Hickman and Paul Bradshaw from BCU chose not to address the masses at the Coffee Lounge, but instead recorded a short video:

Jon also interviewed new Social Media MA student and first-time BSMC visitor, Stephen Croome, about his thoughts on the event:

Thanks again to everyone who came. The next meet-up will be on Friday 30 October – all the usual details will be out very shortly.

It’s nearly that time again – the next Birmingham Social Media cafe meet-up will be:

At the Coffee Lounge from 10am on Friday 25 September 2009.

The format will be the same as ever – with a free coffee/tea in hand, you’ll be able to meet up with others in the digital/social media arena and kick around ideas, experiences and nuggets of info.

If you’ve not been before then I can pretty much guarantee you’ll meet a few people who will interest and inspire you with what they’re doing.

If you come regularly then odds are you keep chatting to the same people – if you like we’ll find you some new people to speak to.

With a new academic term just starting, Birmingham City University will be providing the coffees this month.

Please do announce your attendance:

• On Facebook
• On Upcoming

Please help spread the word a little too – there are many out there who don’t know what a wonderful bunch of people come together every month.
