Victoria’s first Social Media Camp is coming on October 3rd, 2010.

We have already confirmed great speakers, such as Scott Stratten (@unmarketing), Dave Olsen (@daveohoots) from HootSuite, and Clayton Stark (@ClaytonStark) from Flock.

Leadership team members Chris Burdge and myself are organizing this event at the Victoria Conference Centre. We hope lots of locals, and lots of people from elsewhere will attend!

The first 100 registrants receive a signed copy of Scott Stratten’s new book, “UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging.”

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first “Social Media Camp” held in Canada. We are still accepting speaker applications.
