As a co-founder of SMC Knoxville, here’s some shameless self-promotion for our Official Launch Party:

The Knoxville Chapter of the Social Media Club’s official launch party will take place on Tuesday, July 21 from 6-8pm in The Green Room at Oodles Uncorked in Market Square.

The event will feature speaker Trey Pennington, the founder of SMC Greenville and an influential social media practitioner.

Pennington will discuss the importance of using social media for meaningful engagement and how to take advantage of technology to redefine what it means to be members of a society, community or culture.

SMC Knoxville’s Launch Party is free to attend and open to anyone currently involved in social media or those seeking to learn. Appetizers will be provided and happy hour drink specials will be available.

The event is sponsored by Pyxl, a marketing services firm headquartered in Knoxville, and Mashable, a popular social media news blog.

Hope to see you all there!
