Our event is now called Sweets and Tweets. More about this social media event series here.

Our first event, to be held at the ultra cool Baked & Wired in Georgetown, will feature HHS social media guy Andrew Wilson, who will talk about the new HHS Center for New Media as well as using social media in a crisis.

Wilson was involved with the creation of the HHS/FDA /CDC social media page. This is a resource created in four days to educate consumers and enable them to spread the word about the peanut butter product recall related to salmonella.

No April Fool's

• The first 10 registrants will each receive a signed copy of Debbie Weil’s The Corporate Blogging Book. (One copy per company or organization attending.)
