We’re back for 2012 and the first date for your diaries is the evening of 24 February.
We’ll be finalising the details of this meeting (like times and venue!) over the next week or so, so keep your eye on here, the twitter account or the hashtag (we actually have two but tend to use #smcderby rather than #derbysmc!)
Never been to a social media cafe before? Here’s what you can expect…
- An informal network and conversation event for anyone who works with or has an interest in all things digital in Derbyshire
- Coffee and probably cake – although sometimes you do have to pay for this yourself
- To learn something or to share something with other people passionate about this stuff
- To find out how social media and digital are being used outside of your sector or work or area of experience – this can be quite eye-opening!
- What you won’t get – the hard sell from any companies as we ask people not to push their products, companies or services although talking about what you do and discovering opportunities is A-ok!
We’ve also had word that the very first Derby Social Media Surgery will be taking place at the start of March. This is an opportunity for not-for-profit organisations, community organisations and charities to get free advice and practical help from people with experience of the tools and tips needed to get on online.
More details on this soon too but you can follow the hashtag #derbysms if you’re interested in being either a patient (needing help or advice) or a surgeon (available to help out).
In the meantime spread the word that the cafe and surgery are on their way as we head toward spring and we’ll see you there!
The problem with social media cafe is there are too many interesting people and interesting things to talk about in a short space of time.
