Corporate event management: Discuss social media and the benefits it brings to business

Date: 05/07/2011

Using corporate conferences to discuss social media will save you time and money in the long run.

According to Tim Gibbon, director of Elemental, interacting with audiences via social media is a useful tool for research and development, trialling products and services.

So why not discuss how to implement social media into your business at corporate conferences, where you can also highlight to staff how useful the tool is?

Last Thursday (June 30th) was Social Media Day – highlighting how important the technology is to everyone –whether for personal or professional use.

So implementing it into your business could make a real difference to the success you see.

"Crucially, [business] is about being observant and responding to customers within social environments and addressing any questions or enquiries that they may have in a timely and appropriate fashion, another strength in harnessing social media when managed effectively.

"If employed effectively, it can be a useful tool for saving time and cost and means businesses can work through kinks before a launch and get early customer buy-in."
