Do you get the message?
At any given moment we can use a myriad different ways to get a message out, but which ones work best and when? Also, have our expectations of communications kept up with our technologies?

Tris Hussey - Social Media Concierge & New Media Specialist
Long-time blogger and social media expert, Tris got his start in tech running laboratories and doing tech support.

This was my first meetup. I thought it was a good meetup and great networking spot. The only thing is that Republic was a little dark inside so it was hard to see people. But otherwise very enjoyable!

I might be bringing April from AHA Media as well. She's never been, I don't think.

  “ This topic is huge, and ongoing. Tris framed it as such, and this made it interesting. ”
- Tanya Davis (aka NetChick)
  
  “ Great to see so many new faces, as well as the regular crew! Don't forget... Tell two friends or colleagues about our future meetups! Thanks guys! ”
- Paul LeBlanc
  
  “ Good speaker, venue and crowd. Only suggestion would be that the speaker take care to repeat all questions from the floor -- many were inaudible. ”
- Gus Fosarolli
  
  “ Tris did a great job. As always it was great to meet old friends and get to know new friends and continue communicating on-line. :) ”
- Raul
  
  “ Tris gave a really excellent presentation (that ties perfectly well with the panel we'll have on social media, web 2.0 and etiquette for next month's VanBlogger Meetup). Tris explained a lot of elements of the way in which social media operates for newbies and experienced social media folks. ”
- Viral Spin Media
  
  “ Hi Tris: I thought the meetup was good. The only flaws I saw really was the fact that I don't see faces to well in the dark and the mic feedback was not kind to the ears. Otherwise, it was good. ”
- Tris Hussey
  
  “ I was great! It was great to hear me speak! ”
- Margo
  
  “ I thought he was full of himself, but lacking in substance, or certainly not imparting anything of value. His slides were dreadful - especially for a communicator talking about communication. Broke all the rules about good presentation slides (no visusals, no colours, too many words on each slide). I left near the end of the Q and A because I couldn't stand any more of me, the great I am. ”
- Sheree
  
  “ large helpful group ”
- Linda
  
  “ His presentation did not have much beyond the basics, and therefore was a bit boring, but the discussion about privacy and politicians re facebook was interesting. ”
