Things are coming full circle. I first was introduced to the idea of joining Forrester by attending as a panelist run by Peter Kim in San Francisco, I guess that was my first date with Forrester. He and Charlene then asked me if I’d be interested in joining the firm, and well, I’m happily married to Forrester.
Peter and I will be running a few workshops with Peter, we hope you can attend:
Blogging Fundamentals, May 7th, in San Francisco
Social Computing workshop on June 5th in Cambridge Mass.
These workshops are interactive, and it’s expected the attendees will walk away with actionable next steps that are built on in class exercises, insight from research, and an open dialog to pick our brains.
These aren’t the only places to get trained on social media, there’s events and confernces being put on all over the globe, I recommend the Social Media Club (in multiple cities), New Comm Forum, Womma, Marketing Profs, or even try using Upcoming, or if you’re in the SF/Silicon Valley area, check out this list of ongoing events.
If I missed any other great social media workshops or conferences, please leave a comment below.
the online marketing summit http://www.onlinemarketingsummit.com/ is always a very educational experience specifically for marketers. Full disclosure: I speak at this event and many others across the industry. Attendees at this event have always had very positive feedback.
Don’t forget the Third Tuesday social media groups in Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa and, starting this week, Montreal. Each month, we ask someone to speak about how they are applying or exploring the potential of social media. These presentations are followed by great group discussions and lots of mixing and mingling.
Also, the Third Thursday meetups in Palo Alto, http://publicrelations.meetup.com/79/ and New York http://newmedia.meetup.com/83/
Are there any workshop online? I’m in México and usually there aren’t any event like those here.

It all revolves around branded content/content marketing. The reason I mention here is that a sound social media strategy includes a deep focus on content. Without great, consistent content, social media’s pretty tough to do.
