As yet there’s no sponsor so people will be buying their own coffees (gasp!). But there’s plenty of time yet so we’ll see…

Digital Brum is a good place for keeping up with other similar events that are going on around the city, but it’s a bit quiet just at the moment. Maybe try browsing the various meet-ups on the ‘Other events‘ page.

Usually the BSMC meets on the last Friday of every month. Unfortunately that’d make the next one on Christmas Day, so December’s meet-up will be brought forward a week and will take place on:
10am, Friday 18 December 2009 at the Coffee Lounge
Which would seem sensible. Getting the coffees in will be the good people of the Cornwall Street Media Law Group.
November’s meet saw the launch of the Canvas Birmingham website as part of Birmingham’s City Of Culture 2013 bid as well as a welcome visit from a Chief Inspector. This month? It’s anyone’s guess.
Sign up (if you like – it’s helpful, but not obligatory) and come on down:
In the afternoon there’s a few options. What with it being too early in the month to go running around looking for last minute presents, I’m sure a few people will be up for heading to the Frankfurt Christmas Market for a glass of something refreshing.
That might be a nice festive primer for the return of Twitpanto at 2pm, organised by Jon Bounds and this year sponsored by the Hippodrome.
Alternatively, Birmingham City University are running an event at the Coffee Lounge from 1pm on the subject of Procuring Social Media.

This month’s Birmingham Social Media cafe meet-up will be at:
10am, Friday 27 November 2009 at the Coffee Lounge
All you need to do is come along, ask the nice staff for the drink of your choice and then head downstairs to meet everyone else. Last month there was yet another great turnout of interesting people. Most pleasing was the number of times I overheard the phrase ‘Let me introduce you to…’.
This month’s sponsors are Fierce, purveyors of contemporary performance art and producers of the internationally renowned Fierce Festival.
There’s no need for invites, tickets or anything, but please do let us know you’re coming, either:

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:

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:
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.

After all the talk of data we’re going back to basics this week, with a regular Birmingham Social Media cafe meet-up.
We’ll be at the Coffee Lounge from 10am on Friday 28 August 2009.
Most people will be there to meet up, make new friends and have a productive natter over a cup of coffee. Others are planning to have meetings or hang around to get some work done in the company of some bright and interesting individuals. All are very welcome.
Screen WM (our ongoing supporters) will be providing the coffees this week.
If you fancy announcing your attendance then:
Hope to see you on Friday.

The next Birmingham Social Media Cafe is this Friday, 31 July 2009. As ever, everyone will be meeting downstairs at the Coffee Lounge on Navigation Street from 10am.
Our quarterly sponsors, Rhubarb Radio, will be paying for the coffees. If you see any of those good folk (and do seek them out – they’re doing some interesting work) then please say thank you. Even better, tune in and check out the shows – this week they’re broadcasting live from the renowned Supersonic Festival at the Custard Factory.
The BSMC is an informal get-together for anyone using (or interested in using) social media. If that sounds like you, then come on down and have a chat with someone – there are always enough friendly faces around. This month, Andy Mabbett has volunteered to be the chief friendly face making sure all goes swimmingly.
There are no tickets or invites – if you’d like to announce your intention to come along then you can do on Facebook, Upcoming or the wiki.
Also, we’ll soon be announcing an evening event taking place on Wed 19 August – keep an eye out (and your diary free) for that.
