GSMCHAT Explained

What is GSMCHAT?

GSMCHAT (pronounced gee-ess-em-chat) is a text-based online meetup for communication professionals. We hold it every other Thursday at 10am PT and the topic is different every chat. People who handle social media for any government agency (and educational institutions), just log on to our free network to participate in the chat.

How can I participate?

Participating in GSMCHAT is simple and it's a great way to start to learn about the socialgov community.

It starts at 10am PT/ 12pm CT/ 1pm ET. All you have to do is log on to our free member network and be ready for a great text-based conversation.

Get ready for each topic by finding links to some of your own favorite resources (social media accounts, blogs, podcasts, studies, etc.) so you are ready to share links with others during the chat.
