It’s only been a few years since the words “social” and ”media” came together, but since the merger the world, both physical and digital, have become vastly different. On June 30, 2010, Mashable.com, known for its ‘everything social’ news articles, launched Social Media Day, a “celebration of media going social.” With over 5,000 registered #SMDay events (this number does not include the non-registered events), the day became a staple in the social world.
This year, Detroit plans on taking Social Media Day 2011 to an entirely new level. Themed with the title “Detroit Rock City,” MotorCity Casino Hotel and Livio Radio have teamed up along with the social media teams of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings to bring the Detroit area a full day of events.
Social Media Day Events:
11:30am – 1:00pm – Pre-game #TigersTU (Tigers Tweetup) at Comerica Park. Like the SMDay Party at Motor City Casino Hotel, the #TigersTU will be offering raffles and prizes (amazing prizes, check them out!) during the game to attendees).
1:05pm – ? – Begin the victorious game between the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets.
? – 7:00 – Social Media Day Pre-Party located at the Overdrive located inside Motor City Casino Hotel
