We've got another awesome speaker & topic for April's Meetup...

Social media often blurs the lines of consumer and producer, and "Crowdsourcing" is a perfect example of this phenomenon. It is changing the way many businesses are interacting with the public and has produced innovative ideas, solutions and modules.

Monica Hamburg discusses this exciting, burgeoning concept -- what it is, how companies are using it, some pitfalls, and some tips.

Monica Hamburg is a social media evangelist in Vancouver, Canada. Her investigations and observations on social media, and its relation to business and connecting, form the basis of her blog, "Me Like the Interweb". She is a frequent contributor to the popular digital marketing magazine "One Degree", as well as a former actor who uses her dry humour and entertaining skills for speaking engagements and in her blog "Your Dose of Lunacy".

We're heading back to The Network Hub, as they've generously offered us their space once again. Thanks Network Hub for your continued support! Additionally, we've got a media sponsor for this event as well! Rebecca (http://www.miss604.co...) will be live-blogging this event, and has a Future Shop gift card to give away to one of the lucky attendees!

See you all on April 15th!

Cheers,
Tanya

I'd prefer to see Indian Leg Wrestling but I know this is last minute so whatever Gymnastic muse you can invoke will be welcome.

Might as well -- I've thought of some really difficult questions to ask Monica. ;-)

Let me second WorkSpace. If only we could convince them to keep the cafe open.

I *loved* WorkSpace but not sure if they'd charge us. I also loved where we went last time (I live blogged it but can't remember for the life of me where we went). http://hummingbird604.wordp...

  “ Monica Hamburg gave a thorough and well-organized presentation, and her talk started a lively discussion. These are exactly the things I was looking for at the meetup. ”
- Matt Collinge
  
  “ Great presentation! ”
- Christine Rondeau
  
  “ I like the fact that these meetings are very informal and laid back. The speaker Monica was excellent and the moderator, Tanya, knew everyone's name which was great, since instead of just saying question, in the back red shirt, instead would say David. I was very impressed with that small gesture. ”
- Dario Meli
  
  “ Monica was a great presenter. most of the content she reviewed was familiar to me but it was obvious by the amount of excellent questions/conversation that arose afterward that her topic and content were of great value to the crowd. ”
- Cindy Stephenson
  
  “ Easy to find out about the meeting. Excellent topic and speaker. Good location. Great to have the live blogging and twittering (thanks to Rebecca and Gregg). Overall, A+ ”
- Gregg Scott
  
  “ Like Crowdsourcing itself this MeetUp showed the diversity and intelligence that exists in the Vancouver tech and blogging community. To compliment Miss604's live blogging I've posted the text of my TwitterCast.(http://is.gd/6vN) I don't know of the usefulness of these bullet points but it serves as a somewhat reliable transcript-if not for me then for Monica's next presentation! ”
