| Event | Interactive 2011 |
| Format | Panel |
| Organizer | Kristie Wells – Social Media Club |
| Description | In August of 2006 Chris Heuer stood on the stage at Gnomedex and said, "I am launching Social Media Club". In four years this grassroots organization has grown from the seed of an idea to 230+ local groups around the world, on every continent except Antarctica. This is the story of how an idea and belief in shared values has bound together 100's of thousands of people around the world. Social Media Club's mantra - "If you get it, share it" - highlights "sharing" as the key verb we should associate with social media, but when you dig deeper, its much more then what you see on the surface. Social Media is about about openness. It is about authenticity. It is about smart collaboration. It is about storytelling. It is about technology. It is about a whole new world, where everyday people are responsible citizens, responsibly participating in the conversations about, and through, media. It is about upholding higher professional standards. But most of all, its about people coming together, connecting for a common purpose. This panel will explore how the organization grew globally and how the best chapters found success. |
