Guy Kawasaki and Andy Sernovitz will speak in Washington, D.C., on July 9 at Buzz2009: Social Media for Associations, co-hosted by SmartBrief and SocialFish. Guy and Andy will address executives from trade and professional associations who are looking for ways to apply word of mouth and social media strategies to the work of membership organizations.

Buzz2009 is for associations eager to incorporate social media and word of mouth tactics into their overall strategy. This day-long event reveals how the social web can have a measurable impact on the business needs of your membership organization. You’ll learn how to use social media to:

* Recruit more members.
* Energize your events.
* Activate your community online.
* Reinvent publishing with online content models.
* Engage volunteers by leveraging your social capital.
* Raise money through social fundraising and micro-donations.
* Connect grassroots advocacy efforts with public conversations online.

In addition, a free webinar of the roundtable discussion will be available to SmartBrief subscribers. For those who attend Buzz2009 in person, a Q&A period with the roundtable participants will get deeper to the heart of what it takes for an association to position themselves for the same kind of viral success.
