Support Jeffrey Beaumont and Social Media Week

So as I am a general wunderkind of the event planning variety, I often step down from my ivory tower of non-profiteering to lend a hand to up-and-coming organizations in need of some consultation and execution assistance. One such group that I'm working with right now is a fine little project called Social Media Week, founded by the inestimable Toby Daniels, and what they've got on the docket is pretty rad.

Social Media Week is a weeklong meta-conference from February 1-5 exploring its title in literality: a week of citywide activities devoted entirely to the appreciation and understanding of social media and its inherent power. With thirty-five events running across New York over the course of the week, Social Media Week (SMW) is without doubt ambitious in scope...except that in addition to New York, SMW will also deploy concurrently in five other cities worldwide: Toronto, Sao Paulo, San Francisco, London and Berlin. Seriously.

Each city will operate their own SMW with a fair degree of autonomy, so to be fair Toby is chiefly responsible for his New York baby, but the widescale organization of these events is impressive to say the least. I have been brought on by Toby to manage seven of the events (to be disclosed soon!) and so far, so good.

I'll share more on what i'm working on in the weeks ahead, but for now check them out here and go here to check out the week's schedule for New York. There's a ton of shit going on, and it's all FREE, so please do Toby and I a favor and sign up and check-out anything that seems interesting.

Holla!
