Whoever came up with the idea creating the Social Media Conferences is nothing but a genius.
Social media is one of the upcoming stars of the cyber world and everyone, An we mean everyone, is either on it, or trying to get on it no matter age, sex or standing,
These Social Media Conferences is not just a place where you get to meet and greet old friends but it also gives you the chance to meet, speak and communicate on a personal level with the creators of the people who invented most of the social media platforms.
This can give you more insight into that app or platform by using that information shared (they always do) for you to understand it more especially is you use it in your business and if you do not use it it how it will benefit you is you do start using it.
And the sharing works both ways. These creators of this platforms, apps and medias are open to criticism and suggestion to not only make their product easier and more accessible to be used by more (meaning more profit) but also they get an outside view point which might help solve a glitch they just could not figure out and here you with your fresh ideas made things happen.
The platform on which they operate these conferences are not as per the normal , person standing at a podium and putting you to sleep with stats and anecdotes and you get your little brief lets you take home and a finger lunch and there you go, NO.
Although they do have a speaker or two, it is more of an open session where ideas are thrown around, discussed and you even have what is known as the passage way encounter. This is where you find people meeting by chance in a passage and just hit it off either with an idea or family matter and become life long friends and even sometimes, yes sometimes, your next boss or future business partners.
And not to forget the liquid courage moments!
Just think about it, how many times did you not only meet the girl of the moment but even a buddy for life because of the Irish Courage that open bat provided, now imagine what magic in the business world can come from the liquid or Irish courage.
The business world has changed and this is one of the biggest.
