Yep folks, it is time for another Social Media Surgery in York. These surgeries are aimed at charities and community groups in the city – to assist them to use the www (particularly social media and web 2.0) in a variety of constructive contexts. They are held in a relaxed, informal setting (no speeches, presentations or jargon). The ‘Patients’ sit down with a surgeon for a one-to-one Q&A session. These sessions usually last between 15-25 minutes, so that every patient gets a chance to speak to a couple of surgeons.

I help organize these surgeries along with @CMoz and @JohnPopham. The first one was conducted last year in November and went rather well. We had around 10 different charities attend and around 12 surgeons volunteered their time.

Attend: You can follow updates on York’s Social Media Surgery on twitter by searching for the #YorkSMS hash-tag. I am in the process of setting up an eventbrite website, if you or anyone you know would like to attend, please book a ticket. These are free, but if you book before hand it helps us keep track of numbers.

Volunteer: If you would like to volunteer as a surgeon, please get in touch with me via twitter – @gopaldass or you can drop me a line at the following mail address: abhay dot adhikari at gmail dot com.
