We're the Manchester branch of the London Social Media Cafe, or Tuttle Club.

 

This Wiki is at the centre of our activities. We also have a Google Group, which is the perfect place to have discussions about all things Social Media. Follow our Twitter account for the latest notices.  A Social Media Manchester social network on Ning has been created, to help network pre- and post- event, as well as provide a friendlier interface to getting involved. Sign-up now!

 

****SPECIAL  EVENT****

 

As the Fabulous Futuresonic Festival is running in May, the SMC is relocating to the magnificent Contact Theatre on Oxford Road to offer Social Technology Summit delegates the chance to mop up some SMC goodness and for us to take advantage of all the cool things that are happening there.

 

The Cafe will have all the usual shenanigans with a few more added to the mix. SO get your name down, put a session down and in the words of the late great Ted Rodgers, Lesley Crowther (the Price is Right) "Come on Down".

PARTICIPATION

The unConference format is informal, feel free to contribute and comment. Although the sessions appear to be quite short there is opportunity to carry on the discussions through the break and after. Generally the sessions are run as a conversation and participants are encouraged to pitch in where appropriate. You don't need to put your name down for a particular session in advance just come along and choose on the night.

 

We encourage people to respond to the sessions through Twitter, this will feedback into how the Cafe runs and promote future debate. To make it easier for us to track comments please use the hashtag #smc_mcr followed by the #session number in your Tweets. If Twitter isn't your thing then feedback through your medium of choice.

 

The Contact Theatre has free WiFi so feel free to use the connectivity.
