After an all-too-long hiatus, Ryan*MacMillan’s laptopdance nights are once again underway. Come one, come all.
It’s really not as seedy as it may sound. As social media is meant to be all about conversation and dialogue, every now and then we like to combine a bit of chit chat about the latest, greatest social media developments with some food and, yes, maybe even the odd drink. Everything in moderation, of course.
There’ll be laptops at the events so people can show and tell, and geek out to what the rest of the group is showing. All ideas and topics are welcome, whether you’ve just discovered the next Last.FM or just want to show off your favourite lolcats picture – it’s all about sharing ideas to inspire discussion.
Attendees are expected to pre-arm themselves with some interesting URLs, and tag them “laptopdance” in delicious. Our next event is on Tuesday 3rd June and is almost full. But there’ll be regular events moving forward. Just drop us an email if you’d like to attend.

Iain founded RMM in 2006, with the objective of providing good, strategic advice across all areas of digital and social media. Nowadays, the focus is entirely social and involves the provision of more than just advice – insight, inspiration and expertise in social media. Iain leads the strategy development and training teams on most client projects.
He specialises in leading client strategy projects in a number of sectors, including finance and gambling, where RMM has conducted studies into social behaviour in highly regulated environments. He also leads projects for travel sector clients, a sector in which RMM works in partnership with eCRM sector specialist, Spike Marketing. They work together across a number of clients, most recently including Neilson Holidays, Thomas Cook’s ski and active holidays division.
Prior to RMM, Iain spent five years helping to run the web design business, Tonic, winning and managing accounts such as Vodafone, GE, GAP, MTV and Barclaycard. Before that he worked at Tribal DDB London, working on Volkswagen before heading up the Victor Chandler, Sony Europe and Guardian accounts. And before that he had a colourful career in music promotions, running the annual Soho Jazz Festival in 1997.
Iain spends quite a large amount of time trying and failing to explain to his long-suffering wife why he really loves golf, seventies hard rock and eighties pop. She remains none the wiser.
This is a terrific idea.
