Networking: Please bring business cards and be prepared to exchange with all. Everyone will have the opportunity to introduce yourself to the group and promote your business, job search or personal interests.

This is the New Wave: Boomers, Baby!

In a salon-style interactive discussion and exchange of ideas/info – the Topic this month is “Boomer Survive and Thrive II: Got Internet Presence? Social Media, SEO and You. For Business Owners, Job Seekers and Networkers.  ”

Our Special Presenter is Dorian Karthauser: Owner of My Pandamonium. Creator of Boomer Bardo and Sponsor of Boomer Bardo MeetUps. 

Side topics for discussion generated from the main topic will undoubtedly enter areas such as: “Let’s network and have fun! Why have an internet presence? Is it necessary? What about promoting my business? Or my job search? Or expanded networking to enhance/make secure the career I already have? Why even think about Internet Presence? And More. Be there and meet new friends, network and socialize!”

Dorian Karthauser has created and continues to grow and expand Boomer Bardo: both the MeetUp Group and the website (Boomerbardo.com). She is passionately committed to bringing cutting edge useful info to Boomers everywhere. As well as Community Building, Networking, Info-sharing and Having FUN!

Internet Presence and Branding for: Small business, job search, career advancement, networking and making new connections. Are you networked, LinkedIn, Facebooked, and Twitterized (and Tweeting)? In short: Are you Search Engine Optimized (SEO)? And why is this important?!

And (perhaps even more compelling): once you have all the right tools in place – do you know how to work with these tools to grow and expand your business or personal brand/internet presence?

Don’t be left out of the job and networking loop by internet warriors. Learn how to survive and thrive in tough times with techno-geeks and the rest of us!

How to groove – and the Best Practices – in the latest cutting edge technologies for social networking. Why should you care?

Most prospective employers these days first do a Google on your name to see what pops up. How to make sure that what pops up first – is what you want to emphasize. Many jobs are filled (and careers advanced) through LinkedIn and other social networking tools.

Small (and medium to Fortune 500) business is increasingly turning to internet presence and Social Networking to expand contacts and even close deals. With everyone’s life and available time in high gear in these tough times – your web site is available to potential customers 24/7. One of the fastest growing job classifications for Fortune 500 companies is Internet/Social Media Marketing. Come and find out why!

So link up, network and groove at Boomer Bardo!

See you there!

Sponsored by BOOMER BARDO. Baby Boomers: Those born between 1944 and 1964. (For the Value of 1x Boomer Bardo). A Possibly Quantum (and Definitely) Far Out Place To Groove. Where Boomers, Technology and Rock n Roll happily coexist. Get Retro-Active! We are an eclectic and fun group who enjoy interesting, lively discussions and low pressure, fun networking. For the Baby Boomer Generation – what a long, strange trip it’s been (and continues to be)! So we just keep on truckin’ along. We’re not necessarily older: We’re Experienced!

Think of Boomer Bardo as a Boomer oriented 21st century interactive Salon for Discussion, Socializing, Entrepreneurship, Business Development, Educational – and Other Vital Boomer Topics – with SOUL and the INTENT TO GROOVE. Networking, community-building, entrepreneurship, business development, info sharing, social, educational, motivational, inspirational, technology help for job seekers (including SEO and Social Media Marketing), and more: for Baby Boomers who think they are still Hip and Have What It Takes.

We’ll be rockin, groovin and networking with outstanding DFW area Boomers while getting some very useful info for Boomers in the 21st century. BE THERE and be informed, inspired, meet new friends and have a few free laughs with us! Because a laugh a day does a body good.

The BOOMER BARDO MISSION: “Hello, my name is [anonymous] and I am a Boomer!” The Boomer Bardo Mission is to provide some comic relief and be a Force for Good (loved those comic books!). Also to help interested Boomers Network, Build Community and stop increasingly-demanding daily responsibilities just for a brief moment, in order to be Energized today by their youthful Idealism. And to bring that Idealism forward into the 21st Century in order to leave an enduring legacy for future generations. And to Boldly Go, As Far As We Can!
