Social Media Tulsa Call for Sponsors #smtulsa


What is Social Media Tulsa?
It all began with Social Media Day Tulsa at Fat Guys Burger Bar in the historic Greenwood district. Social Media Tulsa is a platform that allows its members to get together and talk about the impact of Social Media on business, news, entertainment, sports, non profit, and any other topics that need to be discussed.

Members of Social Media Tulsa include small business owners, authors, photographers, and those responsible for social media marketing for some of Tulsa’s largest companies and charitable organizations.

Monthly gatherings of people who might otherwise never have crossed paths, and the steady growth of the group in such a short amount of time, is a testiment to the power social media has to connect us in ways never seen before.

Where we meet:
In and around the city of Tulsa, OK. We have been to Joe Momma's Pizza, Dilly Deli, and The Mayo Hotel,with upcoming meetups scheduled for The Max Retropub, and The Salvation Army distribution center. The meetups are FREE to members, and we have a mix of social networking and educational sharing.

Upcoming 2010 meetup dates:
October: 20, 2010: Topic Video
November: 15, 2010 Tweet4toys Toy Drive for Salvation Army
December: 13, 2010 Topic Social Media Tulsa Gives Back. We fulfill the forgotten angels from the Salvation Army's angel program.

What we need:
Cash Sponsorship
Send In Kind items
Bags / Unique items for give away

Here what our members have to say:


Friendly and helpful group. I'm looking forward to meeting others and exchanging ideas. ” Jim Griffin

“ This group is comprised of so many great people. At each meetup I am blown away by the marvelous conversations and connections made. I look forward to each event and hope the group keeps growing! ”
Lindsay Hammons-Sparks

“ Social Media Tulsa is a phenomenal mix of people who are willing to be both teachers and students of social media, which makes for the absolute best kind of meetings, because it isn't just "lecturing" it's more of an exchange. To find such a diverse group that still has so much in common thanks to Social Media is a fantastic thing, hopefully it will continue to expand in the future. ”
Tiffannie Slone

The Two Question Interview:Cheryl Lawson


Being a part of the #140conf Los Angeles community has really been a great experience for me. One of my Twitter and IRL (In real life) friends, Del Williams asked if I would be a part of a project she was working on.

PORTRAIT OF A BUSINESS
Not your typical podcast. Del Williams interviews some of the best people in their field to help women be successful in life and business.


The questions I had were:

1. What is the best business advice you've received?

2. What do you want to be remembered for?

Take a look at The PORTRAIT OF A BUSINESS To see my answers.

I cried a little writing my answers, but you might see a little bit of my geeky humor at the end. Hint think LOTR.

Social Media Tulsa What is Whrrl




Thanks to Whrrl for the video introduction specifically to our meetup group.
Join the Social Media Tulsa Society on Whrrl.

Or take a look at the Dilly Deli recommendation.

#PartyTip
Since our event was outside with no A/V. The challenge was how to get this video to the attendees? Solution? QRCodes. I downloaded a FREE QRcode and added it to the name badges. Attendees could scan and watch the videos from their smartphones.

In Memory of Tiernan from #SmTulsa Cares


Hello Friends,

Social Media Tulsa was started to demonstrate the power of social media through face to face connections. Our community has grown in just a short amount of time.

While we are about celebrating power, life has dealt one of our members a most tragic blow and I'm asking for your help.

You may have met Tiffannie Slone our member and owner of Capturedcharms.com photography, at our Mayo Hotel meetup. She was the one who was pregnant.

I have been notified that Tiffannie and her husband lost their precious baby Tiernan.

I don't know what the family needs, and I don't want to pry as they handle their grief, but I do want to do something.

With your help, we can demonstrate the power of social media in the most powerful way.

Please give what you can, and share the link with your connections.

Thank you,

Cheryl Lawson
