Social Media Camp

Planning the Camp Session

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:24:49 +0000

So we are doing this camp portion a little differently, trying to optimize things a bit if you will… hopefully it wont go terribly terribly wrong Actually, I am quite sure it will be the opposite. With limited space, limited time and limited resources, we are going to add some light structure to the camp planning and not do it in the traditional open space format. Instead, here is generally how it will go down.

You get index card at registration.
You write out title session, name. If you want to add more detail on back, please do so as it will help us (on back though please)
You give it to a volunteer before 950am (has a xxxx stripe on their badge)
At 10am, we will present the best sessions to a roll call of interest – ie, we will read them aloud and do a voice vote to judge interest and to discuss whether or not it will require a projector (1 room has a projector, the other doesnt – this is on purpose)
Using feedback from everyone, and direct discussion with those people proposing sesstions that have interest (or if we choose, one that has great significance even if its not popular), we will work out and post the schedule, here online as well as in the room on the wall.
We will hopefully be on time to start at 1030am for our first sessions

Am sure we will get a lot of feedback on this, but want to try it regardless. We need to experiment a little more and try to improve on things.

Marketing Through Social Media Session #smcamp #iwny

admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:15:36 +0000

It seems obvious now that Social Media is more then marketing, but marketing has been the tip of the spear that has made it relevant to most organizations, and is indeed a key part of the growth Social Media has experienced (not taking anything away from the grass roots, personal nature of its original usage). This session we will look at the broad concept of what is marketing, how we build relationships with the market, the importance of trust in marketing/branding and how companies are using social media to market their businesses products and services. This includes discussions on the importance of media/content, avenues for generating awareness, garnering word of mouth, and how to build your business using the cost efficient tools of social media.

In this session, we will start with the second half of the presentation from the morning’s session on What is Social Media and move into more specifics.

All of these sessions will be organized using currently available materials that are online, so we encourage you to add any important comments below in addition to any links to other resources you think will help people understand this topic. This session will take place at 300pm on Thursday June 4, 2009.

Using Social Media for Job Searches Session #smcamp #iwny

admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:52:40 +0000

We all know that unemployment, particularly in the U.S., is up. We also know that Social Media is becoming an increasingly more important part of the hiring process, with employers using reputation searches through social sites as the basis for their hiring (and even firing) decisions. This is the important of the personal branding we discuss earlier in the day. During this session, we will discuss the most important aspect of how we represent ourselves for job searches, how employers are using the tools to review candidates and how you can make yourself stand out from the crowd and find the job of your dreams.

We will start with this presentation:
