March 15th and 16th, this Thursday and Friday, is the second annual Social Media Tulsa Conference! I am so excited to get to attend AND live plus it! Here some basic intro information and what sessions I am most excited for!
What is Social Media Tulsa?
Social Media Tulsa (or #SMTulsa) started as a monthly meetup group (which it still is!) and has grown into a website, social media accounts, a support and ideas network, a digital Chamber of Commerce of sorts, AND a conference!
The conference will be at the downtown Tulsa Hyatt and start with registration at 9 am Thursday with the keynote following at 10 am. It’s a nonstop partying classroom all that day and the next! There will be a blogger’s lounge, keynotes, breakout sessions, a showing of Twittamentary, a Tweetup, and as many Google+ Hangouts as I can squeeze in!
What’s exciting?
Mandy Vavrinak
My friend Mandy Vavrinak will be talking about the Relevance Revolution on Thursday right after lunch. We use people’s opinions and experiences as time saving mechanism all the time. Now, that advice is filtered through social media–and it went global! But I’m sure Mandy will have more interesting things to say about it. 🙂
Next on the list is Who Let the Dogs Out? or Social Pets at 1 on Friday. Why? Because I’m a dog person. 🙂

And then I’m torn because overlapping the amazing rollerblading dog is a Pinterest support group, which just sounds like too much fun! Any ideas on how to do both?
What will you be adding to the event?
I will be live plussing as many sessions as I can attend and type out notes for!
I will be doing as many Google+ Hangouts as time allows. I want to introduce Plussers to Tulsa and Tulsans to Google+!
Circle me on Google+ and let me know you want in the #SMTulsa circle in order to catch all this goodness!
Wow! What should I do now?

Anna, I always love sharing / teaching / leading (and learning!) at conferences, and I’m particularly excited about this one. I’m updating my presentation still to include the latest on what is happening with all of the seen and unseen social sharing and filtering going on and what we as both consumers of content, generators of content and business or brand owners need to know.
Thanks for updating your presentation! Some speakers (in other places, not #SMTulsa) wouldn’t go to the effort. There’s been a lot of recent changes on this–from Search Plus Your World (which I’m enjoying personally) to the new timeline design on FB (I’m not a fan of how long it keeps polls and likes on the top for so long.)
