If you are trying to understand why Social Media is such a hot topic
and what your organization should be doing about it, you want to learn
from the people who know best. Those people are the members of Social
Media Club, and this is your chance to attend a workshop hosted by
professionals from around the world.
Each workshop has a slightly different focus and flavor, and each
workshop is hosted by a different group of leaders. But each workshop
is designed with you in mind, so you not only learn from lectures, but
through conversations and interactions with the leaders. Speakers will
include Chris Heuer, Scott Schablow, Ike Pigott and Mack Collier.
