On Tuesday, June 8 Social Media Club Melbourne will be staging its third event, and what ripper it will be!
Featuring will be not one but three of Melbourne's power bloggers - two (Darren Rowse aka @problogger, and The Inquistr's Duncan Riley) are big players on the world stage; rounding out the bill is Pip Lincolne, aka @meetmeatmikes, Australia's number one female blogger.
Book here! Entry is free, but tickets are limited (and going fast)!
DISCLOSURE: I'm on the @SMCmelb organising committee (along with Nikki Bannatyne, Lucio de Ribeiro, Simon Small and Tim Beveridge).
