Social Media Club (SMC) was founded in March 2006 to host conversations around the globe that explore key issues facing our society as technologies transform the way we connect, communicate, collaborate and relate to each other.

SMC enables you to explore your personal and professional passions by helping you connect with a community of your peers based on both geography and areas of interest. We exist to ensure that the world of social media does not become an echo chamber of self-reinforcing thoughts but is instead fueled by diversity of opinion and perspective. SMC is a 501c6 nonprofit organization.

SMC's Chicago chapter, launched in October 2008, hosts events that mix socializing, networking and learning. Learn more at www.socialmediaclub.org.
