The publicity for last night's London Area Communicators' Group October Meetup was intriguing: based around social networking, it would take place in Clerkenwell Theatre and feature a group of actors. Unsurprisingly given such novelty, it filled up quickly.
Arriving early after an energising stroll up from the Thames, I was greeted warmly at the door and asked to complete a profile which I taped up on the wall. After saying hello to some familiar faces, I filled my plate and glass (several times each) ready for the show. There seemed to be a lot of new faces and it wasn't just because I'd missed the social events over the summer and the most recent meetup. Moving the group to LinkedIn seems to have increased its visibility.
Presented by London Area Communicators' Group, the evening was a collaboration between The Big Wheel Theatre Company who performed songs and sketches and Jason Buck who ran an workshop investigating attitudes to social media, enterprise/web 2.0 among the archetypal employees of a fictional company.
