Samuel Johnson

One of Lichfield's sons is the author of the Dictionary Dr Johnson. This book revolutionised literature and had far reaching impact on the understanding of language.

NOW....

It’s been a long time coming but we’re finally happy to announce that Lichfield is to host it’s first ever Social Media Café and Social Media Surgery!

Social Media Café

For those who don’t know or have never been to one,  a Social Media Café is where people interested in social media get together to talk about it. These cafés take place all over the country and can take different forms. For example, some have panelists with a pre-determined topic of discussion and some are more like networking events where everyone stands around chatting and getting to know one another.

We’ve not decided on a format yet so in the true spirit of social media, we’re going to crowd source it. There is a survey which asks three questions, including;

1. What format would you prefer for the Lichfield Social Media Café?
2. If you would like a topic-based event, what would you like to discuss?

It’s a great opportunity to help each other understand how better to use and understand social media and to identify how others could use it to their advantage.

The café will take place on Tuesday, 15th September from 3pm onwards at George IV pub on Bore Street and you can register your interest either by signing up through our Event Brite page or through the Facebook event.

If you’re a local business we’re also looking for someone to sponsor the event to pay for a few drinks and maybe some nibbles to help the afternoon go down nicely. If you’re interested, please contact me (Philip John) by tweet, e-mail or phone on 07886 335 896.
