It’s been a while since the first ever Third Tuesday over at the Soho Billiards in Yaletown but the events have really come together for communications professionals and the social media savvy (and newbies) in Vancouver.

This month I’ve decided to sign on as the media sponsor for Third Tuesday on April 15th (thanks to Tanya for enabling this). I’ll be providing a liveblog of the event which will feature the very capable Monica Hamburg speaking about crowdsourcing.

Social media often blurs the lines of consumer and producer, and “Crowdsourcing” is a perfect example of this phenomenon. It is changing the way many businesses are interacting with the public and has produced innovative ideas, solutions and modules. Monican Hamburg discusses this exciting, burgeoning concept — what it is, how companies are using it, some pitfalls, and some tips. [ThirdTuesday]

Where: This month’s Third Tuesday is also made possible by the venue sponsor, The Network Hub (3rd floor - 422 Richards Street)
When: Tuesday April 15th @ 7:00pm

If all of this wasn’t enough to make you want to come on by, I’ll also be giving away a prize at the end of the live blog - all those who attend will be entered. Be sure to sign up and RSVP on the Third Tuesday meetup account.
