I’m sitting at JFK airport. My flight from Richmond was delayed for some mechanical reason, so we departed just late enough for me to miss my connecting flight. While I wait for the next flight to Boston, I’m taking advantage of the free wifi JetBlue offers throughout the terminal.
I spent the last day and a half in Richmond, speaking at the third Social Media Club Richmond event last night, and giving the keynote presentation at the Strategic Leadership and Social Media for Social Good conference at the University of Richmond.
I’ve given a number of talks about using social media to benefit social causes since we started SM4SC, but these were my largest audiences yet: over 150 at SMC Richmond, and nearly 200 for my keynote address.
The University of Richmond streamed video of the entire conference. Here’s a video of my keynote presentation:
Also, here’s a SlideShare of my presentation:
I want to thank both Social Media Club Richmond and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies for the opportunities to speak in front of their audiences. I had a great time, and hope people were able to learn some new ways for using social media for social good.
Richmond has a number of smart, friendly social media people, including Doug Meacham, Kira Siddall, Nathan Hughes, and many, many more. It was great to meet everyone, and I look forward to visiting Richmond again in the near future.
