This month, your Social Media Breakfast is a joint effort between SMBNH founder Leslie Poston of Uptown Uncorked and SMBME founder Amanda O'Brien of Hall Web Services. 

In NH we've had two Education themed SMBNH mornings (here and here), where you have heard from folks breaking new ground in education from all over the state. Now we're bringing some of the bright minds from Maine down to collaborate and share what our neighbor is doing for social and education. 

We hope to foster a greater feeling of community between the education communities in both states, and we hope you enjoy our three speakers from our sister state of Maine and meeting our attendees from both NH and Maine this month.

The Marriott is at the corners of Deer St, Maplewood Ave and Hanover St in Portsmouth. The address in the sidebar will get you to the parking entrance but is not their official address.
