TITLE : 2011 Boston Social Media Summit
CITY : Boston , MA
DATE : Tuesday, September 20, 2011

WHY ATTEND THE SOCIAL MEDIA SUMMIT?

Social Media are transforming the way that nonprofit organizations do business. Whether it is establishing a fan base on Facebook, sending up to-the-minute updates on Twitter, or analyzing current developments on your blog, social media technologies offer huge potential to nonprofits to reach out to their supporters and keep them engaged.  Unfortunately, most nonprofits have not explored this potential, mostly because social media are so new and their applications are not well understood by nonprofit leaders. The Social Media Summit will explore the most popular forms of Social Media currently in use today, and show you how to leverage your stakeholders in ways that were unimaginable even ten years ago.  At our Social Media Summit, you will learn how to use social media to:
-  Reach new supporters of your organization
-  Maintain and strengthen relationships with existing supporters
-  Engage supporters without fatiguing them with too much information

Attendees will be exposed to all the major social media tools available to nonprofits today and will learn how to apply them to the nonprofit context. In addition, you will learn how to integrate your social media efforts into one platform to avoid duplication of efforts.
