Two Seminars on Social Media this Week
Busy week this week. I’ve got 4 presentations in 3 days. Two are open to the public, so I wanted to let you know about them.
Fidelity Investments “Leadership in Technology” Executive Speaker Series
Tomorrow night, March 24th, I’m presenting at NC State University’s Computer Science Department on “Social Media is a Cocktail Party” (the concept, not the book). It’s part of the ongoing Fidelity Investments “Leadership in Technology” Executive Speaker Series. I had the honor of watching former Red Hat CEO and current Lulu CEO Bob Young present at this series earlier this year. He set a high bar, and I’ll do my best not to lower it too far.
The event is at 6 p.m. in Engineering Building II. Free, open to the public, lots of free parking nearby. Directions are here.
*Bonus! – If you’d like to see this presentation in its entirety, please feel free to check it out right here:
Central Michigan Public Relations Society
Then I’m heading to Lansing, Michigan (my old stomping grounds for 4 years in a past life) to talk to the Central Michigan PRSA. There, we’ll chat about ”Trends in Social Media Marketing in 2009 and Beyond.” It’s based on this blog post I wrote, plus I’ve brought in the thinking of some others on the subject.
Details on the event are here. Not sure if it’s too late to register, but it’s at the East Lansing Marriott. Last I heard they were at 70 people, so it should be a good turnout.
Hope to see you at one of these events.
