Social Media Breakfast in Singapore, 29 March

Mar 18, 2008 Announcements

Thanks for coming back. =). Glad to see you. If there's anything I can do for you, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me an email, or leave a comment, introduce yourself. I'd love to connect with you. Or if you have your own blog, why not let me promote your work?

Reading the conversations Jeff Pulver’s Social Media breakfasts have generated lately (such as this article in Fortune) inspired me to try doing it in Singapore. Daryl Tay was willing to take up the challenge of helping to organize it.

So, we’re planning to have a Social Media Breakfast in Singapore. It’s basically going to be a gathering of people who are interested in social media – business, social or otherwise. And you’re all invited!

It’s tentatively going to be on 29 March, and in the SMU area (which is quite central).

There are two simple rules to the event: Firstly, everyone is equal. And secondly, if you feel like you’re not able to gain/contribute effectively to a conversation, you are free to walk away from it and find a new one.

We’ll be doing using something like Jeff Pulver’s Social Media Networking toolkit. I’ll let him explain what that is.

More details will be available soon, and you can read Daryl’s post on it as well. I think Daryl has also created a Facebook event, so you can get details from there. [update: The Facebook event is up, so check it out here. And remember to invite all your friends!]

If any of you are from Singapore (or will happen to be in Singapore) and are interested in going, drop me a line and let me know. And if any of you are willing to sponsor or help in any way, all help is appreciated.

Hope to see you guys there!

    Hi Derrick,
    I'm in Singapore, and very much interested in joining in.
    How can I join? Do I need to register or pay for this?

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Hi,

    If you're on Facebook, you can go to the Facebook event that Daryl created, here.

    If not, no worries. You can just come on the day. No registration is necessary, so feel free to bring/invite any friends who are interested. As for paying, there might be a nominal fee of $3-5. Will confirm exactly how much nearer the date.

    Thanks for your interest and look forward to seeing you! =).

    Might want to consider advising the participants to wear cotton material tops (shirts/blouses) as other types may not be sticker-friendly. Just a little heads up to avoid unnecessary logistical problems on event day…
