Next NYC Meetup, July 14 at Meetup HQ with Scott Heiferman

We’ve scheduled our next New York City Meetup (more in the works!) at Meetup’s HQ.

Scott Heiferman, the chief executive of Meetup, will not crush an iPad with a sledgehammer for us, but he will give a talk on his vision of news and information: Why the future of social media isn’t media. How journalism and media will shape the 21st century by catalyzing community like never before.

Plus we’re looking for three or four short (~5 minutes) demos. Email nyc[at]hackshackers[dot]com if you would like to present.

Meetup’s auditorium fits about 70 people max, so we will maintain a waiting list.

We’re charging $10, in part to cover the drinks and yummy food. Suggestions for kinds of food welcome. If you have trouble with the cost (student?), please email us, we don’t want the $10 to be a deterrent. You can volunteer to help with set-up and cleanup.
