There are meetups happening all over the world; 91 countries, 571 meetups working towards 10,000 people according to @mashSMday. I have to say, this is truly an amazing time in our existence where a company can declare an international day for something and it just starts happening around the world. It's not just the geeks either, the city of Victoria, British Columbia has dedicated the day to the cause officially as well. Check out the hastag #smday on Twitter if you want to join the conversation!
I hope by now you are asking "How can I participate"? Well, start off by heading here. That is the link for the Toronto meetup at The Madison Pub, sponsored by Netfirms. However, even if you aren't in Toronto there is a little box on the left side that will show meetups near you.
Personally, I'm going to have a few drinks, and meet some of the people I've been interacting with over the past few months since I've gotten heavy into the social media world. I know for a fact I want to find Will Pitcher over @empirebuilding and find out how he has been building his share price so consistently in my favourite new online stock game.
Whether you are into Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, FourSquare, Gowalla, Empire Avenue, or just want to learn more about marketing or social media, this is a great way to network and learn something!
