Social Media Breakfast Calgary #17

8:30 a.m., Friday, April 15th, 2011

Melrose Cafe and Bar

 

We have all witnessed the amazing impact social media can have on businesses and organizations, for both employers and employees.  How to Avoid Social Media Disasters presented by Michelle Berg, CHRP, will demonstrate how little moments online can impact organizations negatively and how employers and employees can protect themselves from embarrassment, from losing clients and their jobs or even potential lawsuits. 

Seating is limited and fills up quickly so hurry to book your place on Eventbrite.com. Seats will be released in increments to give everyone fair access to the event. 50 seats will be available immediately and 50 more will be released on Friday, April 8th at 12:00 PM. (Registration will be taken at the event.)

Stay after the discussion to network and share ideas in the realm of social media. Marketers, PR pros, entrepreneurs, bloggers, podcasters, new-media fanatics, and online social networkers are all welcome to attend.

About the guest speaker:

 

Michelle Berg

Michelle Berg, CHRP is the President of Elevated HR Solutions - an HR Outsourcing Company that takes HR out of the business.  She not only credits Social Media for the major success of her company in less than 6 months, but also says that Social Media represents almost 30% of her business when it comes to policy design.  Using real life situations from her business, the Calgary marketplace and international examples, you will see why it's important to set the stage early for yourself when it comes to engaging in Social Media.

About SMBYYC

The SMBYYC houses an open environment to share today’s best and worst examples of social media, as practiced by individuals, industries and organizations in Calgary and around the world.

The SMB was founded by Bryan Person in August 2007 as an event for social media newbies and experts to come together to eat, meet, share and learn. The breakfast series began in Boston and has now spread to more than three dozen cities around the world. The Calgary chapter of the SMB was started by Scott Baird of McQDesign Strategies.
