July Event Roundup

I first did this type of post last month and some received positive feedback. So here we go again. Even though it is July lots going on. And since we are celebrating freedom this month I thought it would be good to talk a bit about (mostly) free things.

Angel Investing For Entrepreneurs
Knox Massey of the Atlanta Technology Angels is putting on a short program to help Georgia based entrepreneurs understand the basics of angel investing—from an investors viewpoint. These are taking place on July 8 and 23 from 12 - 2. You can learn more here. Free.

CapVenture
CapVenture is a unique ATDC education program that equips early stage (typically those seeking their first institutional round of financing) CEO's and executives for smarter and more productive capitalization of their business. Final applications are due July 15. The program runs from run from August 25th to September 29th and concludes with an investor forum and a shot at getting involved with Venture Atlanta. Not Free.

Atlanta CEO Council
The Atlanta CEO Council provides entrepreneurs, C-Level executives, investors, and selected services partners to participate in an exclusive networking environment. Exclusive being a key word (one of the beenies ATDC companies receive is access). Their next shindig on at the Ritz on July 20 at 5:30. Free.

Convince and Convert: How to Pull More Prospects Into and Through the Sales Funnel
Stacy Willams the president of Prominent Placement invited me to a Webinar July 21 from 2 - 3. Stacy is a SEO guru and when she talks I listen. Given that getting customers is a pretty darn important thing to be focusing on you should too. Learn more here. Free

Social Media Camp
Atlanta did not make the cut for the official Social Media Club Summer Tour. But I want one. Others seem to be doing their own. We should too. Not free. It will take effort. Who wants to play?

Hey Lance--
I had to reschedule the July 8 event due to the unfortunate collapse of the 75 Fifth Street parking deck this Monday. An email went out and I should be able to reschedule the July 8 event in late July or early August. The July 23 session is still on!

TechDrawl "is in" for participating in Atlanta's own Social Media Camp. I suspect the Mashable Summer Tour city choices were made before the Mashable-Regator Mixer here which was a huge success. D.C. is doing their own and we can, too. Suggestion: we need to broaden our list of event sponsors and pull in some of our Fortune 500s HQ here so we don't exhaust the goodwill of the regulars.

Does PR Camp count?

If not, I'm in and can help make it happen.

I have some ideas and plans I wrote down a couple months back at doing s Twitter camp that might come in handy.

While PRCamp is a worthy effort I believe that the scope of social media is well beyond the function of PR.
