Help us keep Social Media Club Boston events free! We're looking for sponsors to help cover the costs of hosting a group of between 75 and 150 (and sometimes larger) social media gurus, students and fans.
The Social Media Club Boston is the largest local group in the worldwide Social Media Club network, and attracts potential employees, customers, partners and users for any company looking to grow their visibility among social media savvy people.
The Social Media Club Boston meets on a monthly basis to discuss all aspects of social media. Each program focuses on a specific topic, and includes a panel discussion and break-out sessions to explore various facets of each topic.
For more information on Boston's social media effort, visit their blog.
Please tag all blogs, podcasts, vlogs, and photos with SMCBoston.
