Social Media Club Des Moines

If you get it, share it

Hi All - as your new programs director, I'm on the hunt to help bring the type of programs you'll find valuable, interesting or just plain cool.

As always, we're open to suggestions. Cheap is good -- we're not yet in a position to pay to bring in big-time speakers. Plenty of good talent and thinking nearby. If you have insights, please share them below. If you'd rather connect offline, shoot me an email at zebradan [at] gmail.com.

I think it would be cool to have a Foursquare presentation. I personally don't play around with it much but I think it would be interesting for our members to learn how it's being used.
DAN! I'm struggling with protocol for LinkinIn. I know...I know several people are using it...they're "linked in" and all...but my profile is pathetic....bare Would love for this to be a topic.
Good one. I saw Nathan W. and Hillabean give a pretty decent LI presentation last month at AMA - could be an option.
Two areas come to mind. I think we should consider skill building sessions for the members (on the various technologies in the market today), and outreach to business leaders to demonstrate value of SM for their organizations.
I am brewing up a collaboration with these guys: http://www.talentanarchy.com/ Joe and Jason have their fingers on the pulse of social media as it relates to HR issues. I just had Joe in DSM to do a 3 hour diversity seminar that was very well received.

We're thinking about a social media/employer branding workshop. Do you think the club would want to do something around this?
Hey Dan,

Do you want to find some time soon to meet and talk about how our positions over lap (Programs and Partnership)?

I like John's suggestion. It'd be great to have speakers from other companies come talk about what their company is doing with social media. I'd be happy to share some things that we're doing at Meredith.
James...was going to flip ya a lil crap about your company waiting another "year or so" to get into social media...because I don't think most poeple could afford to wait that long.

Then stalked you a bit and realized you work for the federal government. I guess I'll just leave that alone for now :)
James, do you work for the FBI? Maybe you could tweet most wanted stuff! Yeah! :~0
I'm going to shut my pie hole. You work for some big hitters. LOL
James - I'd love to hear your perspective, perhaps as part of a panel discussion. Lots of companies (organizations) have some significant resistance to using social media, many of those are very valid reasons we need to understand. Obviously some orgs have to approach this with more caution than others, but also feel the need to be involved to some extent.
I also vote to have local businesses/organziations come in to share their own SM suite and tactics.

Another topic I think would be useful is an in-depth presentation on RSS potential. While many of us in this group may be tech-oriented enough to understand - I think there's still a general gap in understanding of what all RSS is capable of providing for busineses, individuals and especially within social media.
