Saturday, April 11, 2009 from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (PT)
We are excited to have you attend the San Diego social media workshop hosted by Artistic Hub. We have spent a lot of time creating a great agenda and lining up amazing speakers to teach you how to effectively harness social media to grow your business.
You will leave with a blog and the knowledge to grow traffic, an impressive LinkedIn account, an understanding of Facebook ads, your own social community on Ning, and the knowledge to harness Twitter effectively.
Our number one goal is for you to walk away with the skills to improve your business through social media and with the ability to implement these immediately.
