New Media Cincinnati - October 2008 Meetup

In October 2007 I was chatting with Andy Osier about my desire for folks in the social media community in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky to meet up. Within a few hours, we had created the New Media Cincinnati group on Facebook and had a Twitter account promoting our first meetup.
We wanted to bring enthusiasts and professionals in the area together so that we could network and share ideas. I’d been meeting up with folks in the Dayton area for lunch for some time and had been sharing that with friends on Twitter.
It’s amazing to think that we’ve been doing this for a year. I really appreciate the community we’re building, the friendships and connections we’ve made, and I look forward to the next meetup, which is this Saturday! We’re using Eventbrite again to help with organizing, so, as the button says,
At the time I put the event together, we had no one set up to talk. That may be changing. I’ll post updates here, on the Eventbrite page, and of course, on Twitter, as they come in.
Update: Joe Wessels, Communications Director for Ohio State Representative Steve Driehaus’s Congressional campaign and accomplished journalist, will be talking about social media and politics.
Do be sure to follow newmediacincy on Twitter for any late-breaking updates.
