You Had Me at… Cupcake

Our good friend Mark Drapeau (@Cheeky_Geeky for those on Twitter) just told us about Sweets and Tweets, a private, after-hours event at the original sweet spot in Georgetown, Baked & Wired.

These events usually feature boldfaced-named brainiacs from DC’s diverse technology community who come to talk about the use of social media by the public and private sector… from the White House and federal agencies to local startups. The event series is produced and hosted by author and social media consultant Debbie Weil. You may have heard about previous ‘Sweet and Tweet-ups’ with special guests Mark Walsh on crowdsourcing and Andrew P. Wilson, who runs Flu.gov.

This time it’s Mark’s turn to teach us a thing or two (or twenty) about social sourcing – and how it can be used to improve the government! – on Tuesday, November 17th from 7 – 8:15 PM. Devour delicious cupcakes, mingle with DC’s digerati and hear Mark Drapeau, behaviour scientist turned Gov 2.0 guru, talk about the hot topic of the year *social networking*.

Event info is here.
