All-Day Social Media for Business Seminar in Arlington. eBiz Symposium 2009 should be a blast. Use ebiz100 to get a free ticket - a multi-hundred-dollar value - to the event.

The CR Live with Jim Storer and Rachel Happe. Join them - and often me - in Bedford this week, so don't be stuck in Harvard Square. Join us for lively discussions about community management, beer and fashion. OK, it's mostly about social media and community management. Details right here. Starts at 12PM.

Hubspot TV. The inbound marketing specialists put on a fabulous show each Friday from 4-4:30PM. Get there - Hubspot, One Broadway, 5th Fl, Cambridge, MA - at 3:40 or so for a seat in the front row. They talk marketing, take questions via Twitter, give great insights and generally put on a light show that entertains and informs. Stars Mike Volpe and Karen Rubin. *Did I mention they have free beverages (MALT BEVERAGES!!) in the studio for all audience members? But don't drink the Raspberry UFO, that belongs to Rubin and she'd knock you out if you bogart her beer.
