Our Social Media for conferences and events course focuses on the specific opportunities for conferences and events presented by social media tools and how they should be practically used to build brand awareness, brand understanding and engage event audiences. It examines how to create and evolve communities and harness and develop them into live conference participants without jeopardising relationships.
Social media forms & tools are explained and assessed, and their relevance to conferences and events evaluated. You will also learn how to set social media objectives, integrate social channels with content marketing and traditional marketing channels, and measure ROI on your efforts.

Prior to launching your social media strategy, I would highly recommend taking this 1 day intensive social media workshop. It covers everything from mapping your business goals, understanding your resourcing requirements, to creating the nuts and bolts of any successful social media campaign: choosing the right platform and creating must-read content!
I attended the (Media House) Social Media in Marketing course last week. From knowing relatively little about the topic at the start of the day, the trainer’s in-depth knowledge of the subject and real-life case studies helped me to focus in on the key priorities to be addressed and assess the potential outcomes of different strategies. The trainer has a relaxed teaching style which encourages discussion and questions around the topic. Thanks for a great course, I would definitely attend a future course.
