A very special Social Media Club Melbourne evening where we will be privileged to chat with two globally recognised bloggers (…who also happen to reside in Melbourne!)

When: Tuesday 8th June, 6-9pm

DARREN ROWSE (@problogger) – a legitimate ‘rock star’ of the world of blogging, Darren has been making a full-time living from blogging since 2004/05 and is sought after as a speaker at major international events such as SXSW (Austin, Texas) and BlogWorld Expo in Las Vegas. His Problogger and Digital Photography School blogs attract numbers most of us can only dream of! This is a story you won’t want to miss!

DUNCAN RILEY (@duncanriley) – an original part of the team that put together the b5media company, in 2007 Duncan joined TechCrunch, one of the world’s most popular tech blogs. In recent times he has devoted his energies to a start-up website called The Inquisitr, which was founded in May 2008 and has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the world’s most popular blogs (Top 100 according to Technorati.)

MC for the evening will be Yvonne Adele (aka @IdeasCulture), a popular blogger and prolific Twitterer who also happens to be one of Australia’s most sought-after speakers on the subject of ideas generation.
