NJ Open Coffee, MontClair, Thursdays 11am-12:30pm

If you are interested in technology and how to make use of social media marketing, you might be interested in NJ Open Coffee in Montclair.  It takes place every Thursday, from 11am to 12:30pm at Cafe Eclectic in Montclair, 444 Bloomfield Avenue.

For more details and to RSVP, visit Meetup for NJ Open Coffee, Montclair. You can register, receive email reminders and learn more.

The conversation is stimulating, informative, and fun. It ranges from music to geo-location based social applications, to launching new businesses and highlighting news from recent conferences.

Not only will you learn about new local businesses - e.g., Bubbalon.com - and talk about best practices, you'll also connect with others interested in social media, technology, marketing and PR.

NJ Open Coffee is organized by Joe Mulligan who writes Backpage Notes [he's also passionate about extreme music, beer, and biking] and  Chris Kieff, author of 1 Good Reason
and soon to be Adjunct Professor at Bergen Community College!

[Note: Chris also hosts NJ Open Coffee in Englewood, NJ on Fridays if that's more convenient for you. I recently realized that my friend Brad Jobling [see Brad Jobling on Social Media and Columbia Department of Surgery] is a co-organizer with Joe Mulligan for the Englewood NJ Open Coffee! Small world.]

The setting in Montclair at Cafe Ecletic is extremely friendly with big chairs and sofas, good lattes and pastries, local artwork on the walls and WiFi if necessary. Here is a link to Cafe Eclectic's MySpace page.

I'd love to see you at an upcoming NJ Open Coffee Montclair.  I make it every 3 or 4 weeks as my schedule permits.
