After last month's 1st anniversary party we're going back to a more traditional event with some lively debate this month at Social Media Club St. Louis. We'll be featuring two opposing points of view on Facebook. Is it rising to challenge Google? Is it about to jump the shark and fall apart? This short healthy debate will carry on in your conversations long after we conclude.

• What: Social Media Club monthly event - The Rise
• Where: Schlafly Bottleworks in Maplewood
• When: 5/20 @ 5:30, Debate starts at 6:00
• Why: We sold out last month so RSVP while you still can

Our master debaters:

 Brian Schwartz: @creativereason, partner at SPOKE, designer, marketer, interactive director, lord of rings, lover of Facebook

 Matt Ridings: @techguerilla, president of MSR Consulting, technologist, blogger, highlander, Facebook pacifist

Whether you've attended before or this is your first time, come out to say hello and support the local talent that is trying to put St. Louis on the digital map as a technical and creative hub. Bring your friends and join us for the SMCSTL monthly meetup. Enjoy some good friends, networking, conversation and drinks. You don't have to be a member to attend, this event is free to everyone.

Please RSVP and honor your commitment. It makes it much easier for the venue to be prepared and for us to bring the right amount of supplies, space is limited.

RSVP now!

Special thanks to location sponsor Scorch Agency for all their help.
