Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, was the first to proclaim June 30 as Social Media Day last year. Vancouver, B.C., followed suit shortly after with an official proclamation.
Social Media Day is a day to celebrate the revolution of media becoming a social dialouge. There are currently 1,342 registered Social Media Day Meetups throughout the world with thousands of participants.
Arizona has a buzzing social media and technology scene with companies like Go Daddy and Limelight Networks based in the Phoenix area.

We’re excited both these places have officially recognized June 30 as a celebration of the tools that empower their citizens to communicate, connect and engage.
