Did you know there is a day dedicated to celebrating Social Media’s impact on communication and global connection?  Social Media Day, June 30th, is a concept developed seven years ago by Mashable. The goal of the day is to engage, inspire and fuel connections among people who are passionate about Social Media.

Today there are social media meet ups around the world in honor of Social Media Day, with a main event in NYC. If there is no live meet up where you live, you can easily set one up! Submit your location as an official Social Media Day Sponsor, here. If you are not headed to a live meet up, you can join in the fun by using hashtag #SMDay and following @mashableevents and @MashSMday!
