Event Description
In this workshop, we’ll discuss how to sift through all the social media hype and focus on tools that will really make a difference in your work. Whether you are a meeting planner, facilitator, or just seeking a way to create more interactive, engaging meetings you will find something to walk away with. This session will introduce you to a social media framework that gives you the power to choose the right social media tool for the right purpose. We’ll also discuss the various methods to tracking usage and effectiveness of social media.
In this session you will:
1. Discover how a social media framework helps you plan your social media efforts.
2. Explore which social media tools are useful for meeting planning and which are not.
3. Plan how you could leverage social media to create more interactive meetings.
4. Review methods for measuring social media effectiveness.
We’ll be videotaping the session with our great partners AZ Webcasting who you can follow on Twitter via @azwebcasting. I hope you can join us for this fun event. The conference center is a beautiful location for meetings and conferences of all sizes.
