Next venue

After last month’s successful event, the next venue for Birmingham Social Media Cafe is again in the Town Hall Foyer. If you’ve never been before, it’s the big building with the columns in Victoria Sq. Town Hall opens at 10am, so if you arrive a little early please wait by the doors until there are signs of life.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could help spread the word before the meeting.

The listings are up on Upcoming or Facebook, so let us know if you’re coming.

If you’ve come along before then you’ll know that you’ll find a group of interesting people working in lots of different areas, all using (or looking to use) social media in what they do, whether that’s for promoting, collaborating or creating things online.

If you’ve not come along before then you might like to know that it’s a very informal, friendly and chatty gathering – we try to make new folks feel as welcome as possible. Just come along, grab a drink and join the rest of us for a chat.

If you’re a Twitter user, the hashtag for the meet-up tends to be #bsmc.

Thanks to everyone who came down to Birmingham Social Media Cafe at Town Hall foyer.

We had a great turn out with lots of new people and there were some interesting discussions (not to mention sweets) around.

Details for the next event and venue will be online shortly, so keep an eye on this blog, our Facebook Group, our Twitter page, and/or our mailing list (sign up in the sidebar of this website).

In the meantime, here’s a round-up of some of the tweets and photos from the February event:

Next venue

Please note the next venue for Birmingham Social Media Cafe is the Town Hall Foyer. If you’ve never been before, it’s the large Greek-looking building in Victoria Sq. The cafe opens at 10am, so if you arrive a little early please wait if it looks closed.

Since this is the first time our event’s changed venue since it started in 2009, it’d be greatly appreciated if you could help spread the word before the meeting.

The listings are up on Upcoming or Facebook, so let us know if you’re coming.

If you’ve come along before then you’ll know that you’ll find a group of interesting people working in lots of different areas, all using (or looking to use) social media in what they do, whether that’s for promoting, collaborating or creating things online.

Thanks to everyone who came down to the first Birmingham Social Media Cafe of 2011 and a big thank you to our sponsors this month, NHS Local (check out their new iPhone app).

We had a good turn out with lots of new people (which is always welcome) and lots of good chats. Details for the next event will be online pretty darn soon, although we’re yet to confirm the venue – keep an eye here, join the Facebook Group, follow @BirminghamSMC on Twitter and/or sign up to the mailing list (in the sidebar of this website) to keep from missing out.

In the meantime, here’s a round-up of some of the tweets from the event:

And here’s a set of photos:

Those things always make me realise how many people I didn’t get a chance to talk to. Next time…

This month we’re very pleased to have NHS local as our sponsor:

NHS localNHS local aims to connect citizens and staff to the best available online resources and information and, importantly, to each other. It brings together local health news, information, services and support from across the NHS and from other trusted organisations and individuals.

Moving venue

This might well be the last one at the Coffee Lounge too – we’re after suggestions for a new venue after concerns were raised about access to the downstairs area of the current venue. It’d be good to get your suggestions in the comments on this post here.
