The purpose of this networking event is to bring together business people, marketers and professionals who live or work in Sudbury and the surrounding communities who want to meet others from the area and learn more about such social media communications tools as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and blogs.

In September, the group will be conducting a brainstorm session on how small local businesses can use social media to increase their sales and brand recognition.
