2009 SCHEDULE - PAST

 

• Social Media Lunch - Östergötland. December 4 saw the regional première of the first networking lunch, held at Arbetets Museum, Laxholmen Restaurant (Museum of Work, a museum amongst alot other things covering the history of the "Manchester of Sweden", Norrköping industrial history etc). We have decided to have lunches every first Friday in the month, alternating in between Norrköping and Linköping. See coming events! The lunches is the origin of the Social Media Club brand in Sweden, where SMC in Stockholm began with lunches Last Friday every month.

  From a public regional demand, we kicked off with a lunch meetup, Dec 4. The special focus of this first lunch was “Social Video” - #SocVid. Our special guest was Anna Lindberg (@annalindberg on Twitter), who now has kicked off a new interactive media format on December 7 - the talkshow 30 Minuter on 24Nt / 24Corren - the local TV channels of NMT. She develops the local TV talkshow to be as interactive and dialogue-oriented with the audience as possible.

 

 

 

• Social Media Barbeques - Summer '09 - THE FRIED HASHTAG EVENTS - #smcBBQ global - #smcogtlBBQ our local

  - The idea was to "fry three hashtags" and have a mashup for a conversation starter - using the #3tags idea, adding three topical hashtags, for the barbeques choosing the Question: "On Social Media at Large: What shall we converse 2day?". Some input for the convo was given on the Social Media Club Östergötland blog for each and respective event - e. g. slides/articles or just whatever! All else, #unconferencing full fledged, applied.

  They all were done in conjunction with Pompom in the Park!

  Dates / #3tags:

   

  #smcogtlBBQ1 - June 6 - 6/6 | #socialmedia • #marketing • #organization [SEE TWO PICS and TWO SLIDESHARES] | Three Tags Pre-Tweet

  #smcogtlBBQ2 - June 27 - 27/6 | #smcsweden #smcswedendevt #socialmediarelease[SEE BLOG POST]

  #smcogtlBBQ3 - July 11 - 11/7 | [due to bad weather forecast the BBQ is cancelled - but we will meet up with PomPom at indoors event anyways]

   

• Sweden Social Web Camp - Aug 21-23, Tjärö, Blekinge, Sweden. This was a big meetup for all in Sweden interested in the Social Web. An "unconference" where we had a whole island for ourselves! One of the topics we brought to the Camp is the proliferation of Social Media Club in Sweden.

  Read more about that and the idea of the whole event on the Camp Wiki;

  "We’ll meet by a quiet lake, beautiful sea or a red cottage and talk about the social web. Some activities are pre-planned, but the agenda will mostly be set by the participants. Demo your latest project. Start a discussion on a topic you care about. Or present something you learned.

  And we do all this barefooted, sipping a cold beer, watching the sunset. And then we gather by the fire and chat late into the Swedish summer night."

 

• Social Media Club Barbeque - No 1 - June 6, 2009 - 6/6 - Folkparken, Norrköping. June 6 - Sweden's National Day, 15.00. We had an open air event in conjunction with the event Pompom in the Park ("Pompom i Parken"), arranged by NEMCOM - Norrköping Electronic Music Community. We marketed our association towards some of the "cultural creatives" locally here in Norrköping, engaged in the music served among the audience, and got visible with a banner, and also a great meetup with some picnic and various types of electronic music to soundtrack some interesting informal conversations on Social Media on the blankets (sun ordered from SMHI that is the Swedish Metreological and Hydrological Institute with Swedish headquarters in the town :). The full story with pictures will be blogged over at http://smcogtl.se soon!

   

• Social Media Club Östergötland - Advancing the Agenda. Reporting back from the Kick-off Workshop. Date/Time: May 21, 23, 15.00 19.30 suggested. Place Jolla Choklad and Dessert. T. B. A. It was just a short constitutional meeting for the not-for-profit association Cloudberry Event that will serve as a supportive administrative association for SMC and maybe also Open Coffee and similar networking / open participation / unconferencing organizations within areas innovation, entrepreneurship, business development, social media and sustainability, especially to serve as an administrative unit when we collect sponsors. We decided for next public event to be on June 6/6, 2009, in Folkparken (see above).

IDEAS FOR EVENTS - WHITEBOARD

Throw your ideas into the table below. It doesn't matter how crazy they are. We'll consider them all. The scheme of ideas below suggested is inherited from the city startup template page, left untouched. Thanks!

 

Note: Already in the loop is preliminary conversation for a "Blogger's Camp Östergötland" [working name], in the Fall - suggested to be one of the core topics to be discussed on the Kick-Off meeting/SMC Östergötland Café (preliminary set Second Saturday in May).

 

There is a critical mass of bloggers in the region[Norrköping / Linköping], as well as a pioneering set of microbloggers (Norrköping / Linköping) and this is a natural departure for creating a critical mass of people with care and consideration for (the immense opportunities of) social media in the region.

Are people really policing each other? Is "Authenticity" the same for journalists as it is for bloggers, for individuals, or PR/Corporate agents or entities? Let's define "Authenticity" vs. "Transparency." Is one ever appropriate without the other? If so, when and why?..
