Topic:
"Blended Networking: Meet, Greet and Tweet!"
Description:
We all know how to meet-and-greet and exchange business cards. Many of us also know the basics of Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. But have you ever combined all of these activities in a live event? This highly innovative meeting gives you an opportunity to network face-to-face with your PAMPI colleagues, while also providing hands-on training in social media.
When surveyed, PAMPI members rank networking high on the list of why they come to monthly meetings. This month you’ll do some high-powered networking that will serve you both during and after the meeting. Learn the new social media tools by actually working on the computer with instructors at your side to guide you through the process!
The learner outcomes for this session are:
1. Meet and interact with your fellow PAMPI members.
2. Be guided through the process of using Twitter and LinkedIn to grow your online presence.
3. Experience an innovative and timely new meeting design that combines traditional with social media networking.
