A couple of Vail area locals have banded together to bring the Social Media Club to Vail. Social Media Club is an international organization that exists to connect media makers from around the world to advance media literacy, promote industry standards, encourage ethical behaviour and share the lessons they have learned. The organization has hundreds of local chapters, in most metropolitan areas. I’ve been keeping my eye in the one in Austin, though a Tuesday night conflict has prevented me from actually attending. I am really excited to see someone taking the lead in Vail. It should be a really great venue to learn as well as network. The first Social Media Club event will be a Tweetup that is scheduled for Tuesday, March 30th at ZaccaZa in Avon. Happy Hour starts at 4:30pm. If you are interested in learning more about social media, meeting some like-minded folks or just are curious as to what a Tweetup is you should mark your calendars. You can get more information at www.twitter.com/SocialMediaVail or at their page on Facebook.
