Canadian communicators are keen to get together to discuss the potential of social media, if the early response to Third Monday and Third Tuesday is any indication. With two weeks to go before the inaugural gatherings, 25 communicators have signed up for the Ottawa group and 43 have joined the Toronto group. This makes the Toronto group the second largest public relations group on meetup.com.

Of course, having Shel Israel, co-author of Naked Conversations, as our first speaker is a great way to kick off these new meetups.

There’s still lots of time to join. So, if you’re a public relations practitioner in either the Toronto or Ottawa regions, join up and come on out to hear a great speaker and have an evening of discussion and camaraderie with others who share a curiosity about social media and its application to communications.
