Description

A person's social media involvement can range from the extreme to the non-existent.  Maybe your Twitter followers know more about your date last Friday than your mother does or maybe you've deleted the 100th invitation to something called "LinkedIn" and have finally decided to find out what all the fuss is about.
 
Whatever your status, we would like to invite you to be part of a social media discussion. Learn how today's savvy experts got started in social media and what advice they have for beginners. You'll learn valuable lessons on interacting in social mediums like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
 
Topics to be addressed:

• how our panelists are using social media, what type of structure they have and what mistakes they made so you can avoid them
• how our panelists became interested in social media and how they think it will evolve
• how do you balance using social media for work and for personal use; is there a difference
• tips for getting started and um... when to stop 

Please join us for networking, a lunch buffet and great conversation on Thursday, November 19, 2009.  Please bring plenty of questions.  Have a question you're too embarrassed to ask?  Send it to me and I'll ask for you, anonymously of course.  The hashtag for the event will be #BWevents .
