10 Jun Social Media Day San Diego 6/30/2013

It’s that time again! Social Media Day San Diego is just around the corner and is being co-hosted once again by Fandom’s very own Rob “DowntownRob” Marlbrough and Tyler Anderson of Casual Fridays, with the support of Social Media Club San Diego. Last year, San Diego had record-breaking attendance. According to Meetup.com, we were the leader worldwide for confirmed RSVP’s. Also last year, Mayor Jerry Sanders declared June 30th as Social Media Day San Diego!

Mashable started Social Media Day back in 2010 as a way to pay homage to the digital revolution that would soon take over our lives, and mobile devices! Now in its fourth year we invite you to celebrate with us, and the rest of the world, the many ways social media has changed our lives and has in many ways brought us closer together.

Don’t forget to RSVP. See you on Sunday, June 30th at Marina Kitchen for the festivities. If you would like to get involved as a sponsor or volunteer click here.
