Opening the Highways to All Mankind

Its not every day that one of the big five automakers comes to Madison WI. Our friends over at Social Media Breakfast Madison have asked and been rewarded with the presence of Scott Monty, Ford’s Global Digital Multimedia Communications Director, coming to Madison on January 18, 2012 at the Monona Terrace. RSVP on Eventbrite – no walk-ins day of.

Sponsors

With the sponsorship of Ford, presenting sponsor Shoutlet, and new kid on the block Engaging Social helping out, the Madison social media professional community as well as  business owners, and people who like a great presentation will be able to attend for free.

Additional supporting sponsors are Lands’ End Business Outfitters with a very cool canvas bag to house other donated SWAG items from local businesses.  A regular contributor to SMB Madison is Suttle Straus who makes a mean decal for your car or business front door.

RSVP

Get in on the fun and education if you are an early riser. Unlike our Madison SMC events that happen at night, SMB Madison gets up at ungodly hours of the morning, supplies hot and steamy coffee and food for your belly.

They do require you to register for tickets for this event, but guess what, its free so humor them and RSVP at Eventbrite. This event will not allow seating for people who just show up at the door due to space limitations.

At the time of this writing, over 200 people have registered and a wait list has been started.  We expect additional seats will be released in the next week so get your name on the list.  Let’s make sure to show Scott Monty how Madison’s business community can fill a room!

If you have questions about the event you can email smbmad at gmail dot com.  Or give them a shout out on Twitter @smbmad

MadSMC is at AJbombers on October 25th @ 6pm!

If you didn’t know, AJ Bombers is in Madison. What is AJ Bombers? Well some say it’s a cool burger joint with peanuts flying over your head and a very rustic atmosphere. If you watch the Travel Channel, you might have seen this Milwaukee based restaurant compete against Sobelman’s on Food Wars (which AJ Bombers was the valiant champion).

Well, believe it or not, AJ Bombers is now in Madison.

Located on 201 West Gorham st. in downtown Madison, WI, AJ Bombers is bringing the winning burger to a winning city. Hello – #WINNING!



Register to Attend “Let’s Get Bombed” – October 25, 2011!!



The owner – Joe Sorge – is very active in the social media world. Not only does he own 3 restaurants in Milwaukee and one in Madison, he also works with people like Chris Brogan on Kitchen Table Talks. And he gets social media, too.

Maybe you can’t dance, but you can socialize.  Come and meet other social savvy professionals and learn about Picassa as a tool for picture sharing. Read the rest of this entry »

Marivic Valencia (@techpr) is such an instigator!  It started with a simple tweet to see Gary Vaynerchuk the author of Crush It and now The Thank You Economy. Hearing Gary talking about his new book, meeting Joe Sorge of AJ Bombers fame, having drive time with several board members of Madison Social Media Club, and eating at the infamous AJ Bombers  was an extreme enticement for me at least. I had a great time – albeit a late evening.  One other member of Madison SMC attended the event and that was Chad Schomber who wrote about his unique experience on his blog Read the rest of this entry »

BuildSocial relationships at our April 13th event

During our Holiday event in 2010, the successful #JingleMingle, we shared the event with the Dane Buy Local Group. We have many cross over members and it was a wonderful way to forge new connections AND see familiar faces.  One of the people I met during the event was John Locke who is a member of not only Dane Buy Local but Habitat Young Professionals. John thought his group might be interested in learning more about innovative and effective ways to use social media for the support and promotion of he group.  We both had such a great time at the joint event the two groups have hammered together a combined event to #BuildSocial relationships!
