Want to learn about social media ? You could try our social media learning centre or book us for an intro-in-a-box session , or check out some of these events:

• PRINZ presents Social Media Trends and Tactics in Auckland on November 19th, a full-day session for external and internal communicators.
• Over the Tasman, Digital Ministry presents Online Social Networking & Business Collaboration World in Sydney. Thanks to PC from Ogilvy Interactive for passing that one on.

Here at iJump we’re planning some workshops and events for early next year. Stay tuned or better still, tell us what you’d like to see . We’ll be doing a mix of public and in-house workshops, so would love to know what’s on your mind.

Social media itself can make an event last long beyond the event itself.

For example, check out my notes from the recent visits of Professor Robert Lauterborn and Professor Lawrence Lessig . Professor Lauterborn was part of the ANZA event we blogged about last time .

And in the USA recently, there have been three conferences that have been very well blogged and twittered.

The Thin Air Summit in Colorado had some top-notch speakers, including Jeremiah Owyang (one of my favourite bloggers). You can read Jeremiah’s take on the summit, as well as insights from our friend Carol Ross , plus the official summit blog has a whole range of resources, including video.

As we write this, the WOMMA (Word of Mouth Marketing Association) are running their summit and research symposium in Las Vegas. You can access their papers & presentations , live video and their live blog .

And in Boston the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR, pronounced "snicker") hosted their awards just a couple of hours before I wrote this post, and live twittered it .
