Speaker:  Elizabeth Brown

 If you are like most consultants, you already wear many different hats. Now you have to put on another one: social media. But how will you ever find the time to squeeze it in? How can you make social media work for you?

Elizabeth Brown can show you. The CEO of a successful national computer training firm, she has carved out another niche for herself in social media. And she can help you find your niche, too.

You will come away from this dinner presentation with the beginnings of a plan for your own social media strategy. Elizabeth will help you figure out what’s the right amount of time for you to spend on social media, what you can expect to accomplish, and what channels are right for you.

Elizabeth will first review the different options available to you, and will give you some pointers on how to search LinkedIn as well as some “status update” tips for LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other programs.

In the second part of the workshop, attendees will pair off to help each other work out their own individual plans. During the final segment, there will be time for questions and answers, and some participants to present their new plans.
