    Social Media Club is intended to be a place where amateurs and professionals can come together to learn from one another, to understand each other and to work together on the things that make meaning in their lives – their personal passions, their professional endeavors and their noble pursuits.

    The Club hosts conversations and participatory conferences that utilize best practices in social learning techniques that provide everyday people and practicing professionals with the knowledge they need to make the most of the tools that power the “Web 2.0″ and “Social Media” Revolution. In short, it empowers people to engage with one another regardless of geographic location or ideological leanings.
