It’s Social Media Week (February edition) in NYC and DC as well as all around the world this week. We love the timing of #SMWNYC and #SMWWDC (official Twitter hashtags of both events) … nothing better than a week full of awesome social media events in both cities followed by a full #recovery before SXSW in March!
