Getting Ready for another Breakfast with “Real-Time Social Networking”

DSC_0667-1.JPGDSC_0662-1.JPGDSC_0654-1.JPGDSC_0663-1.JPG

I just spent the past hour putting together the 110 “Personal Social Networking Toolkits” seen in the pictures above.

You might be wondering why anyone would spend what has amounted to hours placing stickers, name badges, post-it notes and pens into ziplock bags preparing for a breakfast they are hosting. Me too. But I do this to prepare for the breakfasts I host because I recently discovered a way to make business networking events a truly fun experience.

I am someone who believes that the more virtual we become the more we need to have face to face meetings. So at the breakfasts I have been hosting, I have taken some concepts from social media which we typically experience when we are online and have brought the concepts to real life.

The moment my guests write their “personal tag line” on their name badges, they are ready to take place in a unique face-to-face social networking experience. An experience where guests use the stickers in the “Personal Social Networking Toolkits” to tag other guests. These tags are placed on each person’s “personal tag cloud.” And where guests take the supplied mini post-it notes to "write" on the walls of each of our guests.

Tomorrow morning at Friend of a Farmer in New York City from 8-10am I will be handing out these “Personal Social Media Toolkits.” I am looking forward to what I expect will be another “meta social media experience.”

Found this via the article on Fortune.com. Looks like great stuff Jeff, but when are you going to be in Seattle - the hotbed of of Web 2.0 that it is!?

And how should we (purposely) non-Facebook users who are part of the social-geographic-web2.0 world find out and become a part of what looks like a great event??

You are really getting professional in arranging these Real-Time Social Networking breakfasts.

way to go,
