We've set up a Facebook Group to help us coordinate forming SMC Chicago, publicize events, and get the word out about SMC Chicago. Here are the answers to the questions we get asked about the most . . .
Can anyone join SMC?
Absolutely. Social Media Club is intended for those who are involved in social media, or want to learn. And it’s open to everyone, though discussions and content will likely focus on business applications and endeavors related to social media. If you're new to social media, you'll find plenty of people who can help you get started.
Is there a cost to belong to SMC?
Nope. The Chicago chapter doesn’t charge a membership fee. Some events may require an admission fee to offset production costs.
What’s SMC Chicago’s goal?
We’re hoping to provide SMC Chicago members with great, practical content about social media. According to our recent survey, most of our members are interested in learning more about social media for business, case studies, and best practices. So throughout the year, our aim is to bring in speakers and hold interactive sessions and workshops that focus on these topics. One part networking and socializing, one part practical business ideas.
How often do you meet and what are your events like?
Monthly. But you can come as often or as infrequently as you wish.
Not surprisingly, this is a social crowd. You'll find friendly people you can connect with in person and online.
When did the club get started?
Our first event was in October 2008.
How do I stay up to date with the meetings schedule?
• Join this Facebook group and check out the event postings for each meeting
• Follow us on Twitter.com @SMCChicago
How can I help?
Contact us via Facebook or @SMCChicago on twitter.com and let us know what you’ve got in mind. We need help organizing events, finding sponsors, and generally getting the word out about the group. There’s always something to contribute, just let us know how you’d like to be involved. Our core steering committee typically chats once or twice a month via conference call to plan and strategize. And we’d welcome you!
