Blog Carolinas a Success
On Friday, I attended the Blog Carolinas Social Media conference in Research Triangle Park. There were over 100 RSVP’s for the event, but only a portion of those showed up. I was pleased to have gotten some more insight into the social media world, which seems to continue evolving among the diverse range of individuals, organizations and businesses that are applying it to their daily routines. Many of those present were there to learn to promote their online presence by using social media tools. It was fun to meet and hear from local experts who have been successfully working with Social Media for years and who engaged all of us in their conversations. The ”unconference” atmosphere gave everyone an opportunity to speak without intimidation. Anything could happen in this environment. No matter what the experience level, we were all colleagues at this event. All on the same level. Due to the no shows at the event there was lots of lunch leftover which Lee White (the organizer and lunch sponsor) generously donated and volunteer, Lisa Bledsoe offered to drive to The Raleigh Rescue Mission and Love Wins. Always. in downtown Raleigh. I met lots of great folks. The Blog Carolinas crew continued their conversations at Trali Irish Pub and Restaurant in Raleigh following the conference. I wasn’t able to stay for the happy hour because I had to move on to participate in the Latin American Women’s Club’s Women in Excellence Awards ceremony later that afternoon. I do hope to continue to follow my new Blog Carolinas friends in the blogosphere in the future.
