A big thank you to everyone who made the first Birmingham Social Media Cafe a success. Speaking for myself, I had a great time, met some really interesting people and was grateful for everyone who made the journey (especially to those that came a long distance).
Thanks to everyone who helped to promote the event, to The Birmingham Post for buying the drinks and to Coffee Lounge for hosting us.
I’ve got some video to post up at some point but in the meantime, Bobbie Gardner and Steve Cooper have blogged about the event. If you’ve written anything or taken any pics or video then please drop a link in the comments.
There’ll definitely be another next month, most likely at the same place. I’ll announce that when I’ve got confirmation. I’m also on the hunt for an interesting guest speaker too – feel free to add some suggestions!
In the meantime, thanks very much again!
Yeah it was a good venue. I literally walked out of the train station from i think platform 8/9 and boom the coffee place was infront of me. A good day, great to see you again after sxsw08.
Thanks Joanna for a really enjoyable day on Friday – It was a great venue and an interesting bunch of people, very much in the spirit of the London SMC.
See you at the next one
Thanks Jo for setting this up. It was great to make new contacts and network in a relaxed venue. We will definitely be coming to the next event. Friday mornings seem a good time slot too. Thanks again!
Thanks for the comments guys. I’m really glad you liked the venue and the atmosphere. I’m hoping Coffee Lounge will be happy to let us have the space next time. With the amount we spent on coffee I think they will be!
Thank you all that organised the cafe meet, it was nice to say hello to a few new faces too.
I was expecting not a lot less people to turn up, when I walked downstairs I was surprised to see so many.
As others said, thanks for organising the meet. Hopefully we be at the next one.
I must remember not to book important meetings at exactly the same time, hope to see you at all the next one.
