EVENT: The Conversation is Global: Social Media Camp from @socialmediaclub during Internet Week in NY

Some half hour away from start writing this post, we harmonize the topical hashtags for our BBQ this Saturday in one corner with the Social Media Camp hosted by Chris Heuer and Howard Greenstein in New York - streamed live here http://www.livestream.com/socialmediaclub.

The full topical list;

Our Social Media 101 Track, which will be happening in addition to the many sessions being offered by leading Social Media Professionals will include sessions on

Introduction to Social Media - What it is, What it isn’t; Social Media Principles; Tags, Conversation, Community, Social Networks and why this shift in technology is important for all organizations (and employees to understand)

Creating a digital identity, building a personal brand - Before you can engage in these conversations, how do you portray yourself in your profiles? Where should you make profiles? How do you want to be perceived

Social media tools, services and networks - Highlighting the key services and software that are at the heart of the online social universe, we will discuss Twitter, WordPress, Flickr, Digg, Disqus, Lijit, FaceBook, Linkedin and much more

Using Social Media for Job Searches (Job Seekers & Employers) - At this time, your presence online, or lack thereof, is speaking volumes about you to potential employers (and vice versa). In this session we will discuss how social media is changing the job search process and what you can do to stand out as well as what you can do to find the right person if you are hiring.

Marketing Through Social Media - In this session, through case studies and practical examples, we will discuss how Social Media is being used to develop better customer relationships, reach new markets, cultivate word of mouth and create better search engine optimization of your web site. Specific and practically applied tactics will be discussed and your questions will be answered.

Small Group Consultations - At the end of the day, during the last session, several social media professionals from New York and beyond will sit down in smaller groups with participants to answer questions and help you apply what you have learned to your specific business challenge.

Our freeform convo during the BBQ focus this Saturday is departing from #socialmedia + #marketing #organization - and if you want to digest further with some more food for thought to put on fire, see posts on the http://socialmediacamp.org that are filled with resources beyond the slides and casts posted in the event blog;

Enjoy!

And yes - the conversation is truly global! Or at least those areas having access to Internet and the Web …

… wrapping up this posting with a Go Go Go, New York!
