MPI - Social Networks for Event Planners
The Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre, London - 11 March 2010

Experts in Social Media and IT will advise and demonstrate tools and techniques to improve your productivity.

The power and reach of social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter is undeniable and growing exponentially. It is no longer enough to know about these sites.

Meeting professionals must be fully engaged members of the online communities and understand the potential of social networks.

Who Should Attend?
The session is aimed at beginner to intermediate users. Attendees will be able to learn:

Details of each social networking site (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter)
Which site should be used for which function
How to find relevant content on each site
How to create and maintain a following
How to be part of the online communities, without it taking over your life...

Format
The event will start off with a short introduction to the topic of social networks and their growing relevance in the business world.

This will be followed by a hands-on tutorial by three social networking experts on the three most popular platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter). To end the session we will have first hand information on social networking strategies and measurable results.
