Wednesday, October 19
11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Does your business or organization use social media? Are you skeptical of its ability to create a positive impact? We're here to show you that social media CAN help any type of business.
This featured event will be led by three panelists, all from different types of businesses and organizations, who will discuss the crucial role of social media in promoting the important work you are doing in our community to your viewers and reaching an even greater audience. From a local police department, to a law firm and rehab facility, all three panelists have experienced vast success through social media, despite working in industries that are not commonly expected to thrive through this outlet. They are here to share their success stories that prove that if they can do it, you can too!
The registration deadline is Monday, October 17
at 12:00 p.m. For registration questions, contact Hannah Dannenfelser at (703) 525-2400 or [email protected].
