In case you missed it, the State Journal’s Social Media Business Forum was held this past Friday, April 1st, 2011 at the University of Charleston. Their panel featured two Next Generation Marketing alum – Justin Seibert and Jeff James – plus Emily Bennington and Bob Coffield. In addition, the opening intro into social media was delivered by Julie Hewett.
The attendees – mainly from all over West Virginia (yay for the great support from the Panhandles!), but also from Ohio and Kentucky – were able to ask questions pertaining to their own social media efforts both planned and in effect. A huge thank you to the State Journal for putting on the event and everyone that came out.
Seibert then headed off to Columbus, OH the next day to present How to Protect Your Online Reputation at the Digital Media in a Social World conference. If you’re updating your Where’s Waldo maps for Seibert at home, that would mark four separate universities in the last month:
- West Virginia University
- The Ohio State University
- West Liberty University
- University of Charleston
For those of you who have inquired about future Next Generation Marketing events – and those simply interested in learning more about using social media for business – we wanted to let you know about an event the State Journal is putting on April 1, 2011 in Charleston, WV.
This social media business forum features two speakers from our last series: Jeff James of Mythology Marketing and Justin Seibert of Direct Online Marketing. Jeff and Justin will sit on two panel discussions with a couple other great homegrown speakers, Emily Bennington of Dixon Hughes and Bob Coffield of Flaherty, Sensabaugh & Bonasso. Other speakers include Karen Saxe of netSpray, Julie Hewett of JulNet, and Kevin Nelson of Huddleston Bolen.
We’ll add another post when we receive registration information. In the meantime, if you have any questions, keep a lookout for more information from the State Journal, either online or in print. Hope you can join us!
Hola mi amigos y amigas!*
Some pretty exciting news on the Next Generation Marketing front. Well it’s not quite news yet – more like an embryonic news nugget.
Jeff, Skip, and I got on the phone this morning to plan out our next dates. One thing that looks more or less definite is a stop in Beckley, WV in November. We’ll post more here and on the main site when this gets locked down and we have more news.
* I just felt like opening with some Spanish today. Weird – I didn’t even catch any Dora or Diego this morning. If that’s misspelled or otherwise incorrect, please let me know. I took Deutsch in high school and college.
If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you know that it hasn’t been updated in awhile. Please accept my apologies. The three of us have been pretty swamped since our spring conference dates around West Virginia. We hope to have some announcements on new dates in the next month or so and we’ll update here first.
In the meantime, I wanted to give you an update on 2 items:
1. For a time being we pulled posts from each of the travelling speakers from Next Generation Marketing. We are no longer doing this, but still encourage you to check out each one individually:
2. You’ll note I didn’t link to Skip’s blog. We didn’t have a falling out – I still want to give him a great big bear hug every time I see him. His blog – Marketing Genius – got hacked. Really tough situation. As soon as the situation gets resolved, I’ll provide an update.
Unfortunately we’ve had to cancel the Martinsburg leg of the Next Generation Marketing tour.
For anybody already signed up, somebody will be in touch over the coming days about your refund.
We apologize for any inconvenience and ask you to keep your eyes peeled for any additional Next Generation Marketing dates in the future.
