Regional meetups, chats & more: June 2024 socialgov events

Interested in meeting fellow professionals while continuing your goal to achieve mastery in government social media? You’re in the right place!

You’re invited to join in on these virtual socialgov events happening in June 2024 right in the free GSM network & GSM professional association. Let’s virtually get together for member-only special regional meetups & a live webinar, free chats on important topics, and much more.

Free GSM network & GSMChats

The free GSM network is where you’ll find a place to ask questions, share advice and genuinely meet fellow socialgovs working in public sector social media. While a lot of great collaboration happens publicly on the social networks, the GSM network is different because members are exclusively employees of government agencies and educational institutions – and, members get access to perks only the platform like starting a direct 1:1 chat or group chat.

A major benefit of joining the network is to participate in our bi-weekly Government Social Media Chats (GSMChat), happening every other Thursday since 2015. You’ll meet with government social media professionals to discuss and share ideas with each other on different topics in a text-only chat. Recaps are available for most chats, too! 

Register & RSVP to attend chats in the free GSM network.
