Beth Buchanan and I are taking our social media show on the road.
After our Social Media Mania workshop last fall in Albuquerque at the United Methodist Association of Communicators (UMAC), we’re excited to be asked to lead the workshop 
for the annual convention for the Religion Communicators Council (RCC) in Philadelphia from April 12 to 14.
Along with our cool Prezi show and our overview on social media, we’re adding a piece on how social media drives social and global movements.
How does social media influence public opinion? Look at the power of social media in terms of justice for Trayvon Martin, the Arab Spring, the Kony 2012 video, financial support for Susan G. Komen, and even the Occupy Wall Street movement. Weak-tie connections? Hardly. Social media makes an impact.
We’re also going to strategize on specific ways to make your own personal goals on social media happen.
Join our workshop on Thursday, April 12 at 3:45 pm, or Saturday, April 14 at 2 pm, or stop by the convention any time.
While the three-day event is offered by the Religion Communicators Council, non-profit communicators, social media junkies, connectors, and wannabes are all welcome!
Lots of cool people to network with! So, work that net!
It’s fun to meet IRL (in real life)! So join us!
BTW, Beth and I are still discussing whether our Twitter hashtag should be #rcc2012 or #rcc12 But we’ll probably go with the shortest hashtag because that’s what @bjbuc recommends.
