# Charlene Li tweet up Wednesday night at the Governor

*\[Update\]* Unfortunately, due to a flight delay, Charlene Li will be unable to make it tonight.

The parade of A-listers continues through Portland.

This time, it’s [Charlene Li](http://twitter.com/charleneli "Charlene Li"), co-author of **[Groundswell](http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9781422125007-0 "Groundswell")** and (until very recently) a Forrester analyst focusing on social media.

[Charlene will be in Portland to speak at the Internet Strategy Forum](http://siliconflorist.com/2008/06/05/want-some-time-with-forresters-charlene-li-internet-strategy-forum-jive-give-you-two-opps/ "Charlene Li"). And while I highly encourage you to attend the event, I wanted to let you know that you’ve also got the opportunity to meet Charlene in a more casual environment. At the Governor on Wednesday night.

This is one of those rare opportunities to spend time with one of the thought leaders in the industry. And truly one of the leading proponents for the corporate use of social media.

Geek or not, it’s not an opportunity that should be passed up. (Which, as cruel irony would have it, is the very thing that I will be doing.)

If you’re considering meeting up tweeting up with Charlene (and I highly encourage you to take the chance to do so—or wasn’t that obvious?), please [RSVP via Upcoming](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/903763 "RSVP for Charlene Li tweet up").

I’ll be living vicariously through your tweets, from my hotel room in Chicago.
