Usually I promote upcoming meetups and unconferences that circle around social media however a large part of my audience is not involved with blogging (and isn’t concerned with whether it is dead or not). I’m thankful for all of my readers who find my site through Google or other sites (or even my mom). I find it’s just as important to note various other community events – they may not be techie, may not be downtown, but will still be super fun for anyone. With that, I’m happy to share the following:
