Join us for our INAUGURAL thought provoking, brain-filling, mouth-watering Social Media Breakfast at Cesars in Oakland.

The San Francisco EAST BAY Social Media Breakfast is organized by Shel Holtz and Kenny Lauer. It brings together social media experts, newcomers and enthusiasts, for a morning of eating, meeting, sharing, and learning.


Marketers, PR pros, entrepreneurs, bloggers, videobloggers, podcasters, students, new-media enthusiasts, Twitterers, community managers, recruiters, and online social networkers are all welcome.

Free to attend (this time). Since it is our inaugural event, we're kicking off these get-togethers with a free breakfast thanks to the generosity of LiveWorld’s sponsorship.

What's JD going to talk about?

JD will touch on recent trends in social media, the meteor hurtling toward the news industry, and the need for a collaborative resource center around social media. But we want to make this a conversation rather than a speech, so bring your questions and comments.
