Brian Solis & Jason Falls host Social:IRL social media boot camp June 14
Social Media is ever-changing, ever-evolving. In fact, it seems as if as soon as I set up a “My Space” account, “Facebook” was the new “hip” social media. Now with more than 50 outlets such as LinkedIn, Foursquare, Twitter, Yammer and WordPress, it’s either jump on board, or get left behind.
Social Media is not going away. The reason why social media has worked so well is because of the instant gratification it gives people with sharing pictures, events and sometimes even random thoughts, while allowing us to connect with friends thousands of miles away. Social media also allows newsrooms to push information out faster; providing news updates as it happens.
The full-day “Explore & Engage” Social:IRL boot camp on June 14 is an intimate workshop on building social media skills, and is taught by some of the best in the social media industry — Brian Solis and Jason Falls.
Brian
is a principal at Altimeter Group, a research-based advisory firm founded by Charlene Li. Solis is globally recognized as one of the most prominent thought leaders and published authors in new media. His current book, Engage, is regarded as the industry reference guide for businesses to build and measure success in the social web.
Jason is a leader in social media, public relations and communications having led a national advertising agency’s Interactive and social media efforts and consulting with a wide variety of brands including Humana, The Envelope Manufacturers of America, Jim Beam and Maker’s Mark bourbons, Louisville Slugger, SHPS and The National Center for Family Literacy. Falls is known for his engaging style, wit and humor, brutal honesty and for adding value to each audience’s experience. You can find him blogging at Social Media Explorer.
