Community Manager Appreciation Day 2012

This Monday, January 23, 2012, is the 3rd Annual Community Manager Appreciation Day (#CMAD). This annual event, held the 4th Monday every January, was started by Jeremiah Owyang in 2010 as a way to show appreciation for online community managers.

According to the invite, the day will include lunch from international speaker and the marketing mind behind 6 Chicago Domino’s Pizza stores, Ramon DeLeon, as well as a happy hour from 4:30-6pm.

Thanks Tim for helping spread the word!

I'm really excited about the hour with an amazing group of people!

I look forward to seeing what your questions are for them?!!

@cbensen Connie, We'll have about 15 CMs working together in Chicago tomorrow, so I'm sure we'll have quite a few questions! Chat with you tomorrow!
