The Social Media Club Hamburg has launched officially. The venue at ethority was fully packed with 65 people and thus, this fact has definitely exceeded our – David, Jonas and me – expectations as club initiators.

Again, we would like to thank all for the active interest in social media and your support by attending the first meeting of SMC Hamburg. Our special thanks go to Mark Pohlmann – with his speech “Talking isn’t enough. From the love for Social Media to the need for more professionalism”- which provided positive discussions that night. The feedbacks coming from the guests reaffirmed our estimation that this kind of club in Hamburg could work out quite well. Well we have to admit, one critic point does hold its case: the beer was not cold enough – sorry Nico.

In overall, this development shows again that Hamburg has established itself as the epicenter of social media in Germany. Sorry Berlin and Munich, that we took your hope away ;-) . We are looking forward for the next meeting of the Social Media Club Hamburg. Until then, free as Mark Pohlmann: “Connect knowledge and convey externalities into internalities”
