Jeff Jarvis is a person to be listened to. And in November, Third Tuesday attendees will have an opportunity to hear and meet Jeff, and get a personally autographed copy of his new book, Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age Improves the Way We Work and Live.

Blogger at Buzz Machine. Author of What Would Google Do? Associate professor and director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York's (CUNY) Graduate School of Journalism. Co-host of This Week in Google with Leo Laporte and Gina Trapani on Leo's TWiT netcast network. And now author of a new book, Public Parts.

Jeff will be coming to third Tuesday on a special day, Friday, November 18. Yes, that's Third Tuesday on a Friday. A great way to end the work week and kick off the weekend.

This should be a great event and we've booked a larger hall so that we can accommodate as many people as possible. Still, if past experience is any guide, we'll sell out.

Your admission fee to this Third Tuesday includes a personal copy of Public Parts, which you'll receive when you check in at the event. So you'll have your copy ready when you meet Jeff and he offers to autograph it for you.

This will be a great event. I hope you'll join us for it.

Thank you to our sponsors

Third Tuesday is a community-oriented, volunteer-driven event. And we wouldn't be able to bring great speakers like Jeff Jarvis to Third Tuesdays across the country without the support of some like-minded sponsors. We've been lucky to have some great companies step up over the past several years to help us make Third Tuesday happen. Big thanks are due to CNW Group, Rogers Communications, Canadian Internet Registration Authority, Radian6 and Cision Canada for making the 2011/12 Third Tuesday season possible.
