You can have the hottest venue, the best speakers, and a fantastic program, but your event will be a flop if the seats aren't filled. That means, whether it's a brick-and-mortar venue or a virtual one, you need to get invites and information about the event out to the right people. Fortunately, by using social media you can quickly and easily talk up your event, gauge interest, share info, and, best of all, boost event attendance.

In this Take 10, social media expert Alan Belniak shares tips for using the most popular social media networks to build interest for special events. He also provides ideas for inspiring your business colleagues to use their social networks to promote conferences, forums, seminars, webinars, and much more.

Presenter

Alan Belniak is the director of social media marketing at a major Boston-based software company focusing on product lifecycle management. He explores ways to use social media channels to better interact with customers, and to direct that feedback to marketing, R&D, sales, and other appropriate groups.
