It's Social Media week in Toronto! I've heard this week referred to as the TIFF for tech geeks! This week, all over Toronto, these tech geeks are gathering to attend conferences, seminars, and Q&As with like minded individuals who have found success in Social Media.

This is only the 2nd annual Social Media week (my how quickly we've grown!) and it began as a sister branch to January's Advertising Week.

Obviously, social media has always (ha! as long as it's been a known term at least...) been a source of love and curiosity for me. I wish I could attend more of the events this week, but my day job keeps me away from the daytime events. Fortunately, I received an invitation to Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment's Q&A with my friends Gail, Monika and Jon leading the panel at Real Sports.

The talk was called Sports and Social Media: Connecting Fans and Brands. I learned a few important things.. and the subject matter was pretty perfect for my upcoming big presentation to my Gatorade clients... I'll keep you posted!
