Originally founded by internet brand icon Mashable, Social Media Day is a global celebration that takes place on June 30th of each year. The event encourages users and businesses to explore new ways of connecting with others through digital social platforms. Lafayette’s own Social Media Day first began as a live tweet event in 2015 when BBR Creative collaborated with local businesses to open a day long discussion on social media enrichment for working professionals.

Two years later, Social Media Day Lafayette has grown to an educational all-day event, offering organizations around Acadiana a forum to join together and honor the digital media that connects us. Organized by BBR Creative, Opportunity Machine and a collection of other local agencies, Social Media Day Lafayette 2017 will feature a lineup of seminars, working sessions and networking activities — all of which will be free of charge and open to the public.

Each class will take place at Opportunity Machine, located in the LITE Center at 537 Cajundome Boulevard in Lafayette. Attendance is first come, first served, and sessions fill up quickly. We recommend planning your day in advance and showing up early.
