WordCamp Atlanta 2010
The very first WordCamp (#wcatl) in Atlanta is taking place this Friday and Saturday, January 8-9 at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I admit, I am very excited about this event! In fact, I was so excited that I registered during the first few days as a personal sponsor.
I think it’s important to not only attend these local networking events, but support them when we can. WordCamps provide an opportunity to learn about blogging, from beginner to expert. But it’s also an opportunity to network with other people in and out of your industry. There is so much to learn from other industries and their use of social media tools like blogs, Facebook and Twitter.
I am also attending SoCon this month! SoCon (#SoCon10) is a Social Media and Social Networking Conference at Kennesaw State University on January 29 – 30. It is my first time attending this conference, and I look forward to hearing from Coca-Cola and Obama’s social media team.
Keep an eye out on Twitter and Facebook for local networking events and please consider attending and/or sponsoring. Even if you cannot attend yourself, please share the event information with your friends.
Are you coming to WordCamp and SoCon? I hope to see you there!

I wouldn’t miss it! We’ll have to brave the snow and frigid temps to make it but I’ll see you there.
Good morning Charity. I just heard about SoCon yesterday. It’s only a few blocks from my house so I think I should go. Just need to find the info next week and get myself registered. I agree on the local events. Local events and weekly face to face engagements are part of my 2010 plan. That one-on-one interaction is so imperative and beneficial.
It would be great to see you there Jonathan!
