The Austin Social Media Breakfast series series is organized by Amie Paxton and SMB founder Bryan Person; it brings together social media experts and newbies for a morning of eating, meeting, sharing, and learning.

Marketers, PR pros, entrepreneurs, bloggers, videobloggers, podcasters, students, new-media enthusiasts, Twitterers, community managers, recruiters, and online social networkers are all welcome.

The event itself is free to attend, though attendees pay for their own food and drink (coffee, tea, breakfast tacos, pastries, etc.).
