Social Media Featured Article

January is a month of some local events of note. While the hardware and software folks play at CES or MacWorld, people in Boston and Houston will be learning some new stuff and interacting in the Social Media Space. Social Media Club and the PRSA Boston are hosting "Beyond Blogging: PR and Today's Social Media Revolution" on January 10th at 6pm  at the Conference Center at Bently. For more details visit the Social Media Club wiki. You can register here and you need to do it soon as the event is filling up fast. (Thanks to Greg Peverill-Conti for the tip).

I'll be running a Social Media Club event in NYC on January 15th featuring Andrew Weinreich, Founder and CEO, MeetMoi and Peter Shankman, CEO – The Geek Factory, Inc., Founder – AirTroductions. For more information about the panel and event registration, see the registration page or the wiki page.

Via Facebook's news stream, I learned from birthday girl Erica O'Grady about the "Got Social Media" event in Houston on January 24th. $50-65 for 4 very good speakers from Social Media, Technology, Design, and Marketing seems a very good price. I know Erica and Giovanni Gallucci and believe the others will be good as well. (Note: I'm not really attending, but this is their graphic. I would if I could.)

Finally, for those looking a little farther ahead, the Society for New Communications Research is having their New Communications Forum 2008 in California in April. There are some early bird discounts if you sign up before 2/15/08.

If you have events, make sure you send them to me at email name "publichoward" at the domain "gmail." Also, publish your events at Confabb!
