Want to learn about the latest in Social Media?

Then you should attend SocialCamp Memphis . . .
Evening of March 6th and the day of March 7th, 2009
Location: Memphis College of Art, 1930 Poplar Ave, Memphis, TN 38104

SocialDevCamp, like BarCamp, is an un-conference; An open format event where programmers, designers and business owners can network and learn. A SocialDevCamp conference is unlike any other technology conference. Rather than being planned by a committee in advance, each community works together to create its own event. A SocialDevCamp generally has an underlying theme, but the individual topics and sessions are organized shortly before or even at the event. This enables SocialDevCamp to be much more than targeted to the needs of the community.
