SUCCESS WHAT
AND HOW IT
WORKS
Social Media + Events = Success
       A tool is not a strategy. Strategy is about communication and
       conversation
                  Clearly defined goals
                  Leveraged networks of participants (speakers & attendees)
                  Measurement of success


         Communication
         What will the event be                                   Tools
         about?                                                         Social Networks
         Who will be there?                                             YouTube Video
         Why is the event important?
                                                                     Location-based apps
         Conversation
                                                                               Email
         “Do not miss it!”
         “At this year’s event…”
         “Hear them speak…”
