Description of program including three learning objectives:
Social media is a hot topic these days in the cubicles and conference rooms of companies across the globe. Slowly, we are seeing—and causing—social media to transform from a recreational pastime to one with beneficial business impact. For meeting and event planners:
- What are the ways that social media is being used today?
- Why should event planners use social media?
- What is the real promise and ROI for event planners?
Eric’s presentation will focus on best practices, insightful ways to define ROI, and real-world successes. Through this presentation, you’ll develop a "sophisticated" opinion about social media; learn about what has been tried and what has worked; and gain ideas for deploying effective social media strategies at future meetings and events.
MPI NJ is excited to incorporate a new tool into our networking for our February event. From the creators of LinkedIn, Presdo Match will be the best way to find out who is attending, see their LinkedIn profiles, communicate with other attendees, and request to meet face-to-face.
