You’ve played around with Facebook, sent a Tweet or two, maybe even posted to YouTube. And now you’re ready to take it to the next level.
We’re here to help. The Charlotte Observer and the School of Communication at Queens University of Charlotte are hosting a Social Media Conference on Jan. 23. You’ll attend seminars led by some of the area’s most innovative social networkers on topics ranging from launching a community web site to using social media to improve your career to just having more fun on your social networks.
If you’re a newbie to this world, we’ve got you covered with a nearly 2 hour Social Networking 101 course.
Throughout the day, you’ll hear from some of the most forward-thinking social media gurus in the region, including Jeff Elder, Lisa Hoffman, Crystal Dempsey, Scott Hepburn and Jason Silverstein. Rick Thames, Observer editor, will deliver the keynote address. Capping it all off will be a panel discussion on The Next Hot Thing in Social Networking.
WHAT: Social Media Conference.
WHO: The Charlotte Observer and School of Communication at Queens University of Charlotte.
FOR WHOM: Anybody interested in learning more about social media, from true beginners to regular Facebookers and Twitterers.
WHEN: 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on January 23.
WHERE: Sykes Learning Center on the Queens campus (1900 Selwyn Avenue, corner of Selwyn and Wellesley)

Any chance the Social Media Conference will be offered again? I missed out by waiting until the second day to sign up.
I’m sure we’ll offer a second one. This one sold out far faster than we expected. I suggest you get your name on the waitlist, b/c we’ll likely open the first spots in any future conference to those folks. Thanks for your interest!
Put me on the waitlist for the next Social media Conference. Thank you.

Please add your name to the official waitlist via eventbrite (just go to register and it will walk you through it). When we offer another one of these, we’ll notify the waitlist first!
