Events highlights for the week of June 8 – June 14, 2009

The city must have a case of “omgz it’s nice out now” as our event calendar is heavy on monthly meetups and light on, well, everything else.
That makes this week a good time to catch up on those groups and events that you have been meaning to get around to, but haven’t had the chance.
We hate to break it to you, but Monday this week is a empty void on our calendar giving you no excuse to take off today. Tuesday, however, be sure to make it out to The Federal Reserve Bank for some practical talk on social media with the Entrepreneurs Forum.
Continue the social media trend the next night out in the burbs, with a seminar on how to make money using Twitter. Then, make like Washington on Thursday and venture on over to Swanky Bubbles in Cherry Hill for the growing NJ and Philly Tech meetup.

All events listed on the event calendar are free to attend. Be sure to check our complete calendar for more information, or follow us past the jump.
Tuesday, June 9: The Entrepreneurs Forum will be hosting a panel discussion at the Fed on 7th and Arch about ways to leverage Twitter, MySpace and Facebook for businesses. Though, we aren’t quite sure what self-respecting business would use MySpace, record labels excepted. Francis X. Taney of law firm Muchanan, Ingersoll and Rooney is heading up the discussion that promises to get underneath the hype surrounding social media and focus on what’s important: how it can make you money. Bring your Web 2.0 bingo cards for added fun. 5:30 p.m. Center City. RSVP. [view more events]
Wednesday, June 10: It may be a little bit of a hike, but try to make your way out to Royersford to hear Chatterbox Social Media and L.B. Marketing present on how to make money on Twitter. Since Twitter doesn’t even know how to make money on Twitter, we are all ears. Though, I’ll admit, any sentence with the word “Twitter” and “marketing” makes me want to run to the woods, lock myself in a cabin and just hang in an IRC chat room for old time’s sake. 6:30 p.m. Royersford. RSVP. [view more events]
Thursday, June 11th: Head over the Ben Franklin Bridge to hang in Cherry Hill for the NJ and Philly Tech meetup. According to the Meetup group, the group is growing, so catch it before it explodes. If enough members show, the meetup will change from a social gathering to a tech discussion. If the discussion is not enough to satisfy you, just thank your lucky starts you are in beautiful South Jersey, birthplace of the city’s best looking tech blog writers. 7:00 p.m. Cherry Hill. RSVP.
