Hosted & sponsored by SAP

Our June event, which will be held on a Tuesday, not a Thursday, will feature Forrester analyst and web strategist Jeremiah Owyang, sharing findings from his latest report, The Future of the Social Web.

Jeremiah and his colleagues at Forrester interviewed 24 companies to inform this new research. According to the report: Consumer adoption of social networks is increasing a rapid pace, and brands are adopting even during a recession, so expect the social media space to rapidly innovate to match this trend. Don't miss this important event featuring Jeremiah Owyang in conversation with the SNCR Fellows about the findings of this new report.

All attendees will be provided access to the full report, courtesy of Forrester.

This is a FREE event, but donations to SNCR are accepted and encouraged.

SNCR will also be holding a Phoneraiser in conjunction with this event. Bring your old mobile phones and ink cartridges. We'll recycle them through Phoneraiser. Help the environment and support SNCR!

Greetings everyone, our 2008 Third Thursday meetup series is set to kick off next month (please note, there will be *no* March meetup).

For our first meetup of the year, we've invited bloggers from eBay, Sony PlayStation and Yahoo! to join us in a discussion and examination of the state of corporate blogging.

Likewise, Jeff Rubenstein with Sony Computer Entertainment America, will discuss his day-to-day involvement and experiences with Sony's PlayStation blog. Finally, Richard Brewer-Hay, eBay's new editor-in-chief, will share his initial thoughts around eBay's upcoming corporate blogging efforts.

Each panelist has a very unique perspective on the role of blogs insider their organizations, it should make for a lively discussion. Room will be limited, so please RSVP soon.

As marketers continue to grok the importance and impact of online conversations on brands, they're increasingly looking at new tools, new platforms that will help augment and extend the way they tell their stories via the web. Corporate blogs, branded social networks and other new media platforms are proving their worth and return inside many companies, but knowing which tool(s) to use in your marketing program is only part of the equation -- knowing what it takes to successfully *create and build* a platform for conversation is the other, and it's a part where many markters get stuck.

Josh Hallett, SNCR Fellow, principal and founder of Hyku, Inc., and a well-respected social media blogger and consultant will be talking with us about some of the technical and production considerations that marketers need to consider when undertaking new media projects. Josh will be joined by Alex Kim from SolutionSet, a veteran in interactive strategy and design, who has extensive experience building and maintaining online communities.

Space is limited, so please RSVP ASAP, this is one of those new media talks you don't want to miss...

With the arrival of social media, both media companies and businesses are rethinking the way they manage news-gathering and distribution. But how do businesses manage that well-known mainstay-- the "pressroom" at industry events and conferences?

Please join us for a fun evening and a great discussion
