Social Media Club of Salt Lake City

Welcome to SMC of SLC

This is the Internet home of the Social Media Club of Salt Lake City. We’re the Salt Lake Valley’s chapter of the worldwide Social Media Club organization based in San Francisco, California. We are the voice of social media — whether it be for business or personal use — in the Salt Lake area. We aim to expand social media literacy, provide educational opportunities and promote ethical social media standards within our community.

SMC of SLC was launched in January 2009. Today, hundreds of people are part of our Facebook group and participate in chapter activities. We try to meet monthly, usually in the evening, on the second Thursday of the month. We hope you’ll come to one of our events, and even volunteer to help out. Please sign-up to be included in our online membership directory.

You can find information on the 2010 Leadership Team here.

Utah Social Media Awards

SMC of SLC produced the world’s first Social Media Club-sponsored awards program recognizing excellence in social media practitioners and uses. The event was on Nov. 6, 2009. Visit UtahSocialMediaAwards.info for more information. Building on this initial success, we look forward to a greatly expanded awards presentation event this year. As always, we are seeking energetic volunteers to make the 2010 USMAs a great success.

Chapter membership

Social Media Club offers several membership levels: non-profit or student, professional, small business, media and corporate. Each level has different fees and provides for various members.

Membership in SMC of SLC is open to all. Anyone in the Salt Lake area interested in learning more or sharing expertise focused on social media is welcome.

Thursday, August 19: “LinkedIn, it is WAY more than you think” with Rick Galan

We all know we should be using LinkedIn, right? We know that it’s a powerful business tool and something that we should be using regularly, but if you’re like most of us you use it infrequently and never feel like you’re getting everything out of it that you could. That is why the SMCSLC is happy to bring you Mr. Rick Galan. He knows LinkedIn inside and out, and will be giving us a presentation covering the myriad facets of this amazing business tool. He will be covering the how’s, why’s, shortcuts and what’s’ new with LinkedIn.

The event will be held at the Grand America and the cost for this event is just $10. Your $10 gets you the Grand America lunch buffet (usually $17) and the presentation by Rick. Seating is limited and the $10 price is only good for a limited time. The day before the event the price jumps to a still very modest $20. So tell your boss you’re taking a long lunch and get signed up today. You can bring your boss too!

Full event details

Register before the price goes up!
