Third Tuesday Vancouver With Tris Hussey
Apr 21st
Tonight our friend and yours, Tris Hussey, will be speaking at Third Tuesday Vancouver.
Topic:
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?
Looks like a lot of people will be attending this event at Republic on Granville Street. Raul (aka Hummingbird604) will be live blogging the event.
I look forward to seeing everyone and meeting new people as Third Tuesday is famous for increasing your network of friends and fortifying old ones.
Third Tuesday Vancouver: David Jones – PR & Social Media
Sep 16th
Last night at Third Tuesday (yes on a Monday), brought David Jones from Hill & Knowlton to present on PR’s take for using Social Media.
David spoke how Public Relations professionals are starting to educate clients on the use of Social Media. Most clients have the “shiny new toy” syndrome and want to dive into Social Media head first. David discussed how he educates his clients by using the MAIL (Monitor your communities, Analyze your findings, Interact with your community, and Lead by starting your own content).
You can catch a great write up on Rebecca’s live blog post here.
It was easy to listen to David and I appreciated his time coming out and speaking to the Vancouver Third Tuesday bunch. He is a fountain of information and look forward to following him on Twitter and reading his blog.
Granted I don’t necessarily agree with his views on the Social Media Press Release, but hey I’m bias when it comes to this 
Third Tuesday on a Wednesday
Aug 21st
Last night was a fairly informal Third Tuesday, as it was held on a Wednesday night and we had no speaker, yet as always it managed to bring out a lot of people. Since it was held at Steamworks in Gastown, we had a cap of 35 people. I’m sure if we didn’t have a cap, more would have attended.
It was great to see the usual faces, Tanya, Monica, Colleen, Arieanna & Ianvi, Tris, John & his wife, David to name a few, a few faces were missing, Raul, Rebecca. I also got to meet some new people and chat with people face to face that I’ve only chatted with online. I also got to meet Joesph Thornley who started Third Tuesday and was in town for the meet up.
I have to say the change of format was refreshing. It allowed for more interaction and networking than the usual events. Granted the set up of the tables prevented from seeing others in the group as I had my back to 2/3 of the group. All in all, hats off to Tanya on organizing a great event as usual. I’m looking forward to more in the coming months and proud to be a part of such a great group of people!
