Social Media Surgery – York

    York Social Media Surgery
    March 1, 2010

    15 Priory Street
    York, YO1 6ET

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.
