About the events

Sharing ideas and conversation since 2016

Social Media Show & Tell is a collaborative event series powered by Dooley Social Studio that brings together marketers, creators, and brand leaders to share what’s working—and what’s next—in the world of social.

Since 2016, this series has grown from a local meetup into a trusted platform for candid conversations, bold ideas, and practical insights. No two events are the same, but all are built around the same belief: that the best way to learn is to show, not just tell.

Each gathering features a rotating cast of industry pros, rising creators, and audience members who aren’t afraid to ask questions, share challenges, or rethink how social gets done. With every session, attendees leave not just smarter, but more energized and inspired to create meaningful impact through social media.

One of the defining aspects of Social Media Show & Tell is its ability to adapt to the rapidly evolving digital space. What started as a small networking event has grown into a nationally-recognized series that addresses the most pressing issues in social media today. Whether it’s navigating new platform algorithms, understanding emerging trends like AI-driven content, or tackling the challenges of brand authenticity, the event remains a trusted resource for professionals looking to refine their approach and amplify their impact.

A key feature of Social Media Show & Tell is its emphasis on audience participation. Rather than a passive experience, attendees are encouraged to engage, ask questions, and even share their own experiences. This collaborative approach has fostered a community of social media professionals who learn from one another, experiment with new ideas, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in digital marketing.

Beyond the stage, Social Media Show & Tell has built an extensive network of professionals who continue to collaborate long after the events conclude. Many attendees have credited the series with helping them forge valuable partnerships, discover new career opportunities, and develop innovative campaigns that have propelled their brands to new heights.

Such a great event! Highly recommend for not only those in social/digital marketing but just business in general. Lots of learning!

Jennifer Loftus, JJL Marketing Solutions

Great event! I truly appreciated being there. Really good exposure and learning. Most of the content made sense, even when it fell outside of my professional experiences and it also highlighted just how much I have yet to learn. That’s kinda the point, right?

Lisa Scheerer, Mayerson Academy

Dooley’s Social Media Show & Tell was an awesome event! It was inspiring to see such a big crowd excited about social media and feeding off the energy of the panel.

Luke Oppliger, Marketing Director @ T Marzetti

I enjoyed the engaging conversation and not only learned new things, but was inspired to think differently about our own social strategy. You shouldn’t miss the next one.

Pete Buscani, CMO @ LaRosa's

It was great, as always! Some really good takeaways and thought-starters for us.
