Boston's Social Media Breakfast is organized by Bob Collins and brings together social media experts and newbies alike for a morning of networking, sharing of ideas and discovery.  Thanks to our monthly sponsors - it is free to attend.

SMB11 Theme: Social Media for Social Change

With the holiday season upon us – it’s important to give thanks for what we have and recognize those in need.   As such – our next Breakfast gathering will focus on how Social Media is being effectively used for Social Change - supporting nonprofits, charities and building communities to aid organizations and social movements.

SMB11 will feature three presentations by some of Boston’s most active Social Media Community leaders’ involved with educating, training and supporting fundraising efforts for non-profits and charitable organizations.  From aiding women’s shelters in downtown Boston to raising money to support Cambodian orphans – SMB11 will focus on the new ways Social Media is being leveraged to make a difference in people lives.

As part of the breakfast, we are holding a Food Drive to support The Greater Boston Food Bank.   Please bring canned goods and non-perishable foods to the Wednesday morning breakfast.  Here is a link to the food Donation Guidelines.   Please also review The Best Foods to Donate document that has great recommendations.
