Social Media voor Congressen: hoe pak je het aan?

Op uitnodiging van MPI Nederland mocht ik vanochtend de aftrap verzorgen van een educational session over de mogelijkheden van Digitale Communicatie voor Congressen. Ik beperkte me tot een overview en vijf stappen om de inzet van Social Media goed voor te bereiden.

Na mij spraken onder andere Oliver de Leeuw en Patrick de Laive. Oliver vertelde inspirerend over de manier waarop TEDxAmsterdam gebruik maakt van Social Media en Patrick bood een openhartig kijkje achter de schermen van een van de grootste technologie-congressen van dit moment: The Next Web.

Read: Screw Business as Usual by Richard Branson

A couple of thoughts that lingered after reading this book:
