	Want to improve your "social" skills? The common theme in June is social media, and we've got events covering everything from social apps to improving your community management skills. Also check out entrepreneur evenings, a Silicon Alley talent fair, and much more below.
	Founders @Fail: Brad Burnham (Union Square Ventures) Wednesday 6/1 from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM New York, NY / $10 Been seeing a lot of the proverbial “fail whale” lately? There’s good news! Often the most epic #fails lead to some of the best business lessons, and this series is all about the takeaways from those lows. Up next is VC Brad Burnham, who sits on the boards of 9 companies... hey, that doesn’t sound like failing!
	The Social Experience of Media: Personalized Apps, TV, ECommerce, what’s next... Tuesday 6/7 from 6 PM – 9 PM New York, NY / $15 WimLink—which connects women in tech and media—hosts this evening of cocktails, networking, and discussion about the real impact social media is having on consumers. Caroline Waxler, head of content for Lucky Magazine, will share her insider’s take on this critical subject.
	Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream Speed Coaching Event Monday 6/13 from 6 PM – 8:30 PM Brooklyn, NY / Free You know the name of Samuel Adams’ founder—and even the sound of his voice—which says something about the success of Jim Koch’s industry-leading microbrewery. Experts from the company teach food and beverage entrepreneurs the nuts and bolts of PR, financing, legal and more at this workshop at The Commons Brooklyn.
	Entrepreneur iEvening Tuesday 6/14 at 4 PM New York, NY / $30 You know the old spelling lesson: an “i” before “evening” means you’re in for a night of startup goodness. This evening workshop hosted by the iBreakfast crew gathers entrepreneurs, executives and venture types, letting you pitch your business plan to the folks in the know.
	Discover New Companies from Abroad Wednesday 6/15 from 5:30 PM – 8 PM New York, NY / $75 Want to get in on those emerging markets before they’ve emerged? Foreign startups while they’re still... starting up? Find out which international companies are leading the charge in this evening of cocktails and roundtables from the Worldwide Investor Network. It’s no accident their initials spell WIN.
	Using Social Media to Make Your Organization More Likeable Tuesday 6/16 from 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM New York, NY / $99–125 The truly great thing about social media for companies is that if it’s used right, it can instantly make your brand friendly and fun—in short, likeable! This Likeable Media event teaches you precisely how to become “irresistible in the social media space.” Thumbs up!
	Silicon Alley Talent Fair & After Party Thursday 6/16 from 12 PM – 6 PM New York, NY / $200–350 Silicon Alley is on a roll lately, and an influx of top 212 tech talent is a big reason why. If you’ve got a New York startup in need of new hires, don’t miss this chance to get the cream of the crop in one spot. There’s a reduced rate if your startup has fewer than 5 employees!
	Defining Metrics and Analytics for Your Community Efforts: A Workshop Wednesday 6/29 from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM New York, NY / $65 Community management is a critical new area for companies: But how do you judge whether your efforts are working? What does success even look like in the social media world? Lauren Perkins of Perks Consulting talks engagement and influence—and tells you which numbers you need to be watching.
