COVID-19 Update
Back in March we announced the cancellation of our 2020 Social Media Camp due to COVID-19. It was heartbreaking! With an amazing line-up of speakers providing excellent sessions and workshops, networking events, and expos planned, we were devastated. While we could have pivoted to a virtual event, we decided it was in the best interest of our registrants that we cancel the event and provided the option for full refunds.
Not wanting to lose our connection with our SMC community, we launched SMC Club in May. Memberships include access to monthly webinars, Q&A Campfire sessions, virtual networking opportunities, exclusive social media resources, and discounts to SMC pop up events in the future.
And now with Covid restrictions continuing for 2021, we have made the decision to host five Virtual Summits that we are very excited about. With excellent speakers and an array of topics, their is a Summit for everyone. Check them out on our Summits page.
