Social Media Club is a fledgling association of humans being organized for those interested in producing, consuming and engaging with one another through Social Media. Its membership consists of those who believe in the power of conversation - as a path to common understanding, as a gateway to knowledge, or as our Cluetrain friends have correctly posited, as the basis of markets. Social Media is conversational media in all its interactive forms including text, video and spoken words - whether face to face, over the Internet, over the airwaves or via mobile technologies such as iPods and cell phones. 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 endeavours and their noble pursuits. The Club hosts conversations and participatory conferences around the world 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.

Ignite Phoenix: August 12th

At the July SMC meeting Roger Williams and Jeff Moriarty gave an overview on the upcoming Ignite Phoenix event, scheduled for August 12, 2008. They are currently taking submissions for presentation topics, and the event will be open and free to the public. Ignite Phoenix's aim is to give the technology, creative, and business communities in Phoenix a new way to discuss and collaborate on their projects.

Ignite Phoenix will be different from other presentation events because rather than one or two speakers in an night there will be 16. Speakers will get only 5 minutes and 20 slides to cover their idea or project and then it's on to the next one. If listeners are interested in learning more they can approach the speaker later during time set aside for networking and discussions. The goal is to get more people talking with each other. This is what happens at O'Reilly events in Silicon Valley, Boston, and Seattle. Ignite Phoenix is set to make it happen here in Phoenix.

For more information, to RSVP for the event, or to submit your own idea for a talk please visit www.ignitephoenix.com
