What a treat to be invited to speak at WordCamp Victoria. January 14th, 2012 will be my first WordCamp and I’m looking forward to geeking out with fellow WordPress enthusiasts at the University of Victoria. My pals Chris Burdge, Paul Holmes, Catherine Novak, Janis La Couvée, Raul Pacheco and George Plumley will be there along [...]
Today, I’m facilitating a discussion for the Alliance Marketing Council (AMC), a group of marketing professionals who work for or with members of Vancouver’s Alliance for Arts & Culture. Our topic is the role that communications professionals play in times of crisis. Rebecca Coleman, Chair of the AMC, asked me to facilitate the session following [...]
I’m a conference junkie. Yup, I have the habit of going to conferences. These events are a great opportunity for networking, learning and gaining some new perspectives. As much as I love conferences, I don’t go to every conference out there. You’ve got to pick the events that relate to the work that you do [...]
You meet all sorts of interesting folks through social media. About a year ago, I met Lori Randall Stratdman from Social Media Design. Lori’s based in Georgia (I think) and we’ve had many merry conversations on Facebook and Twitter. She writes for Social Media Examiner, is speaking at BlogWorld and has fun through social media [...]
Dear readers, With great delight, I announce the launch of my brand-new social media training program. It’s called Making W.A.V.E.S. in Social Networking .

From a humble start with a single event featuring one winery to today’s 60+ events and hundreds of wineries, the Festival’s community has supported this growth. What I find fascinating is that such a large Festival can still nurture an [...]
Tonight, I’ll gather with family, friends, students and colleagues at Douglas College’s Entrepreneur of the Year awards. Nine awards will be presented including the High Tech Award for which Beachcomber Communications is a finalist. I’d like to congratulate my fellow category finalists. Glenda Watson Hyatt runs Soaring Eagle Communications, a company that works to make Internet communication [...]
And they all blogged happily ever after. Ok, this post isn’t a fairy tale nor is my eagerly anticipated journey to the BlogWorld & New Media Expo in Las Vegas. The official action gets underway later this week but the social networking started much earlier in blogs, on Facebook and through Twitter. Somehow I found [...]
Great news! Beachcomber Communications is a finalist for the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards in the High Tech category.

- @LornaSuzuki Yes. I'll be tweeting in waves when I'm doing interesting things rather than a daily tweet march. Glad we'll be in touch more.
- @PoMoLibrary You're very articulate for a building, Library. ;) Tweet well!
- @LornaSuzuki Thanks for the honourific. :) My #socmed use needed de-spamming, streamlining & a "meaningful" reboot. Feeling better now.
