Social Media Train Steams Ahead

After Social Media Cafes, Camps, Surgeries and Roadshows, the UK is now steaming ahead with its first Social Media Train.

The Social Media Train forms a double-header with the ‘Social Media for Social Change’ Unconference being held at Sheffield’s Showroom Workstation on 10th February 2010.

The Unconference runs from 2:30 to 5:00 and provides a platform for participants to choose their own workshop titles based around the event’s overall theme, with the aim of routing other delegates to their sessions via their powers of persuasion.

After the Unconference, delegates will be shunted in the direction of Sheffield station to board the Social Media Train, departing for Huddersfield, home to a recent successful Social Media Surgery, at 18:36.

This scheduled service through the Pennine countryside will allow regular passengers to join in the Social Media discussion continuing from the Unconference event, and make use of the of the WiFi connectivity being made available by one of the event’s local sponsors.
