Social Media Day 2010

Written by on · Leave a Comment

I am sorry that this has taken as long as it has to get this out, but within days of Social Media Day I went on vacation.

I had the pleasure of being a part of two different Social Media Days, one here in NW Indiana and the other in South Bend.  It was great to see the 35+ that showed up at Pepe’s in Valparaiso for the #nwitwtweetup summit, if you will.  We had some great first timers with a great mis of the usual crowd. I then made my way over to South Bend to be a part of their panel after a great talk by @donschindler and was hosted by Michelle Hillaert and Pinnacle of Indiana.

Thanks again to everyone that came out to both events
