Are you ready for “Social Disruption”?

How will you navigate in the new “disruptive” social era? In this new era, individuals will need to reboot their social media prowess for a higher level of emboldened empowerment – talking back to “authority” and rejecting traditional values.

In a series of three consecutive 15 – 20 minute presentations, three experts will present their ideas and strategies on:

• Forecasting trends in thought
• Measuring public opinion using deeper, more specialized analytics tools
• Reacting to potential crisis before it harms your brand
• Adjusting your pr/advertising campaign in real-time for optimal impact

Are you prepared for the rollercoaster ride that is the convergence of social change and social media across business, politics and media? Come find out.
