The Very Unofficial Meetup & Mixer

One of the The American Physical Therapy Association's events is quickly approaching! The Combined Section Meeting will be happening in Chitown from February 8-11 (in a couple of weeks)!

I love to learn and share who's speaking, when and topics of interest. Well, this year, the format of the online information isn't conducive to efficiently check out topics and speakers. My apologies for dropping the ball - this year the formatting is too labor and click intensive for me.

Back by demand... the 3rd Annual CSM Very Unofficial Meetup & Mixer. It's been planned and the information has been sent out to previous attendees. (And a whole group of tweeps have spread the word too! Thanks to those who have shared the event information.) If you plan on going to CSM... if you'd like to mingle with those of us active in the online world, come! The Mixer will be at Jimmy Green's (a sports bar) a couple of blocks from the Hilton. Lots of beer options... bar food... free wireless... and the best part, some really neat people! Don't wait to the last minute to register because you'll miss out on receiving the free attendee synopsis!  

I will admit, I'm not feeling as excited about CSM - it took too long and too many clicks for me to come up with a game plan of who I'm interested in hearing present. So... please, please take this opportunity to share if you are presenting. Please comment and share information about your session(s)! I want to get excited, but I think I'll need the help of all you presenters to step up and put in a fun plug for yourself!

Also... for those of you using Twitter... you'll be interested in joining in conversations or following along the happenings at CSM using hashtag: #CSM2012 Of course, the Very, Unofficial has a hashtag too! It is wise to keep the "Very Unofficial" separate from CSM educational content. I'm pretty sure Twitter rules will be broken by the motley crew currently attending the Very Unofficial. The after 11 pm rule - it's gonna be broken! For the Very Unofficial, use hashtag: #CSM2012CHItown (And.. it really doesn't matter if caps are used.) Too bad we can't have a video or photo contest of some of you meeting for the first time. For those of you curious about Twitter - pull me aside and I'll give you some quick tips and a crash course (if needed) on this venue of social media.

Looking forward to seeing/meeting you! And DO comment and share your sessions - I want to feel excited about CSM!
