June 3rd, 2008 — SMB Ottawa, Upcoming breakfasts
A month ago, I watched my Twitter stream get taken over by Tweeps attending Boston’s Social Media Breakfast 7. Envious of those living in Social Media Breakfast cities, I emailed Bryan Person to ask about ‘franchising’ SMB. Today, thanks to help from my co-organizers, Ryan Anderson and Rob Lane, we’re less than one week away from the inaugural Social Media Breakfast in Ottawa, Canada!
Here’s the gist:
When: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 from 7:30 to 9:00 AM
Where: Ramius Corporation, 55 Metcalfe Street, Suite 530
Guest speaking will be Adrian Salamunovic, Co-Founder of DNA 11. DNA 11 is a company that pioneered the creation of personalized artwork from the DNA of its customers. You’ll learn how Adrian and his partner energized the DNA 11 brand by using social media.
For more details and to register for this event, please go to our Eventbrite page at http://smbottawa.eventbrite.com
We look forward to meeting many of you next week!
UPDATE: Thanks to all of our supporters, our first event has quickly met our originally targeted goal of 60 registrations! We’re hoping to be able to free up some additional tickets, if you’re interested, please contact Simon Chen.

June 2nd, 2008 — SMB Memphis, Upcoming breakfasts
Wednesday, June 4 will be the 4th Social Media Breakfast for Memphis, TN. So far, they’ve gone really well with many newbies, along with the regulars, showing up each time excited about new technologies.
Each breakfast has the same routine: time flies, agenda never followed, discussion goes on and on. Sounds perfect, huh? Although the primary topic hasn’t been chosen yet for this week’s breakfast, we can be sure we’ll have another morning of stimulating social media-related conversations going around the room!
SMB Memphis is still utilizing MeetUp.com for RSVPs and Facebook for idea discussions, photos, videos and recap, which has been working great so far!

May 20th, 2008 — SMB Singapore, Upcoming breakfasts
The second SMB:Singapore is happening this Saturday and it looks like we’re going to have almost double the participants from the last time! Everyone’s pretty psyched about it, and co-organisers Derrick, Sheylara and myself are definitely going to keep SMB:Singapore around to stay.
In fact, we got Shermeen to create for us a logo that we could use for future Social Media Breakfast events, and here it is with a short write-up:
The logo’s a coffee cup, with the handle and saucer forming the acronym “SMB”. It can also look like a person having a bright idea..with the face/head having 3/4 profile. I’ve opted for sketchy lines, so the logo looks professional enough, yet informal enough to be fun.
On top of that, a brand new episode of The Geek Goddess TV Show will be filmed exclusively on location! Lots of media to be generated, check back next week for links to all of them.
What do you think of our new logo? Will you be in Singapore? Why not drop by and say hi! We’ll be glad to meet you!

May 1st, 2008 — Upcoming breakfasts
Hey everyone, we finally have concrete news on the next Twin Cities Social Media Breakfast. SMB-TC3 will be held at Concordia University in St. Paul on May 16th.
After the fantastic turnout & and small space of the last event, we’ve been looking for a better space for the next one. It seems like there aren’t a lot of places that had what we seem to need for our event. Namely, larger space for 20 or more people, WiFi, centrally located, access to public transportation, and food/coffee.
All the spaces that did have enough space were actual conference facilities that start costing real money. Since this is a free event, we have no good way of paying of a larger space.
So, luckily, a number of people offered to check with the places they work at and we suddenly had a few options. The one that worked out first was at Concordia. Jason DeBoer-Moran works in the IT department at Concordia and was able to arrange a true, full-featured conference room for us to use. It meets all the needs of the group, save the one thing that makes for a good breakfast… food.
So, we’ll be bringing in food ourselves. Anyone who would like to donate a box of bagels, doughnuts, coffee, or fruit tray is welcome to bring it with you, or contact me to coordinate making that happen. Simply direct-message me via Twitter, email me (rickmahn at gmail.com), or message me via the MSBMSP Ning site if you want to “donate-a-doughnut”.
Agenda
So what’s going on at this event? Quite a bit for sure! Since there is open WiFi, space, projection equipment, and (did I mention) space we can do quite a bit.
- Demo of Cullect by Garrick Van Buren
- Shared Feeds & the need for better filters
- What exactly is Social Media - a continuing discussion
- We’ll have a live video feed and will be include the remote folks via the overhead projection. At least we’ll try and hope it works.
- YOUR IDEAS HERE!
Location
You can RSVP at: http://smbmsp.ning.com/events/event/show?id=2029643%3AEvent%3A1382 (requires simple registration)
We’ll be in the Library Technology Center Room 215 for the event. Here’s the location information:
The Concordia University Library Technology Center is located on the north side of the campus, near Concordia Avenue and directly east of the Pearson Theater. The Library Technology Center’s physical address is 1282 Concordia Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55104

On this map, The Library Technology Center is building 25, and parking can be found in lots A, B, E, & H.
I look forward to seeing everyone there! Our Social Media Breakfast Network at http://smbmsp.ning.com now has 50 members and I’d love to see as many people make it in person or via video as possible.

April 18th, 2008 — SMB Cincinnati, Upcoming breakfasts
The first Social Media Breakfast of Cincinnati is on Tuesday, April 29 at the
Holiday Inn Riverfront
Street: 600 W THIRD STREET
Time: 7:30am - 9:00am (casual so drop by anytime in this window)
City: Covington, KY
Map: http://maps.google.com/maps…
Contact Info: 612-325-8126 (Maruggi) or 513-240-0547 (Bergman)
Update: Because of the quick comments back, it makes sense to shoot me an email amaruggi@providentpartners.net just in case we need to set up more tables than I’ve reserved in the hotel restaurant. So thanks Michelle and MandyJ for those comments.
Chris Bergman of Cincinnati and Albert Maruggi (visiting Cincinnati that week), senior fellow with the Society for New Communications Research, kicked around the idea for holding the breakfast after tweeting about it with Daniel Johnson Jr, Cliff Ravenscraft, Krista Neher, and others. There is a good group of corporate marketers, agency and PR practitioners, and technologists in the Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati region and this a chance to create an in-person experience.
A loose outline for the group is:
highlights from the recent NewComm Forum and the Media Relations Summit,
discussion of personal networks and the value they create (aka recent issue of selling twitter profile by Andrew Baron )
Cincinnati area news, events, and people
