Since it’s founding, SMB Minneapolis has been a regularly occurring event where like minded social media folks across the Twin Cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul get together to share & learn about social media. Membership in SMBMSP online has grown to over 2,300 professionals from all different disciplines and industries. Many partnerships, jobs, career changes, and friendships have blossomed because of this group’s ability to connect people who enjoy sharing what they know.
SMBMSP was modeled after the first-ever Social Media Breakfast, created by Bryan Person in Boston in September 2007. Our founder, Rick Mahn, brought that vision forward to the energetic and innovative series of events here in the Twin Cities.
