When I say that it’s the third annual Community Manager Appreciation Day … they look at me like Really? REALLY?!!!
Yes, really! And the question is, who started that? My answer, Jeremiah Owyang did. (with a straight face). And I believe that we should have a day! It’s not a Hallmark recognized day yet, but organizations should appreciate these committed people who tirelessly work to make things better externally and internally. It’s not easy job!
So, I pondered what could I do for everyone? Last week I was in a meeting listening to Susan Beebe brief us on the Google+ Hangout that Dell streamed from CES. That got the wheels turning and I asked Susan to help me with the logistics.
So I put together some panels of amazing people to provide an educational, fun, networking event with no regard to geography.
Here’s the details & see you there!
