Social Media Club of Southwest Florida July Event
Social Media in Southwest Florida – Building Community and Creating Value
One of the missions of the Social Media Club of Southwest Florida is to expand both the understanding and usage of social media in the community. We also hope to build relationships among business people, nonprofits, municipalities and other practitioners making use of social media tools and concepts. To promote this mission we will be organizing monthly events built around a variety of social media concepts.
Our first event will be held on Tuesday, July 21st from 7 PM to 9 PM at the Hyatt Place in the Coconut Point Mall in Estero and will include an address by Jason Breed from Neighborhood America. Jason is a senior manager at Neighborhood America, a Naples Florida based company, and is a national thought leader in the social media arena. Jason’s presentation will be followed by a panel discussion that will include representatives from a local business, nonprofit and municipality making use of social media to enhance their brand, communicate with donors or build relationships with constituents.
Attendees of our presentation are encouraged to join us immediately after the panel discussion at The Grape Wine Bar & Cafe where interested attendees will be continuing the conversation. The Grape Wine Bar & Cafe will be providing some appetizer and drink specials.
Thanks to the generosity of our event sponsors, HBK Sorce Financial LLC and Naples Daily News, this event is free to the public. To attend, you simply need to register for the event at the registration link shown above.
